The concept of sympoiesis, innovated by biologist Beth Dempster and developed by philosopher Donna Haraway, defines the interconnected nature of ecosystems which come into being through entanglement, coproduction and cooperation. From the word ethos, which means a dwelling place where people come to know and create together, we come to ethics.
“Founded by Miche Fabre Lewin and Flora Gathorne-Hardy, the work of Studio Fabre Hardy is an expression of genuine love and connection made real through a flow of the tactile and the spiritual, woven with making, writing, speaking and nurturing. No matter the context (studio, gallery, field, hospital) their works are a simplicity of form and material conversation elevated to a plane of a new consciousness through human exchange.”

An Ecology of the Heart
Our art’s practice is our life work and is embodied in the everyday. Through enlivening the interconnections between nature and culture, we engage with our intimate interdependence with our ecosystems to inspire ways of living well together.
In biology sympoiesis defines the interconnected nature of ecosystems which come into being through entanglement, coproduction and cooperation. Ethics derives from ethos which means a dwelling place where people come to know and create together.
Our art of sympoiethics enlivens our capacity for practising an ethics of care in the everyday which respects the integrity of each other, the sentient matter of our Earth and the habitats we dwell within.

Ecological Collaborations
Our work begins with the body in a relationship with mind, matter, memory and metaphor and expresses itself through solo and collaborative manifestations.
The embodied, the experiential, the experimental, the exploratory - these are the daily curations which we flow through as performative and visual arts practitioners whose artistic exchanges range between art studios, a kitchen apothecary, the landscapes of garden, field and water bodies.
All these engagements enliven the experience of an artful sensibility which welcomes in the serendipitous, the unknown and the emergent - thus cultivating a methodology of the intuitive nourished by the living aesthetics of everyday life.
Our body of practice is diverse and site-responsive in approach. Artworks include ritual performance, visual media and convivial interventions in the form of participatory installations and assemblages. Our work as curators and within collaborations with other artists and practitioners are represented within happenings, shows, residencies and written material.
