THE CITY LISTENS BACK 📡🌿

This installation reimagines how we archive botanical materials by shifting focus from the preserved specimens to their surrounding liquids - a material witness to ecological violence and historical change. Displayed across sixteen CRT monitors, eight unique animations, scans, and textures relate to a variety of specific specimen jars drawn from the Spirit Collection held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Each screen acts as a digital portal into the lives of these specimens, offering glimpses into alternative historical narratives.

After months of research at Kew Gardens, I began to question whether the plant specimens within the spirit collection is truly the only thing that deserve our focus. The surrounding alcohol mix is more than a preservation fluid - it’s a witness, holding traces of extraction, ecological trauma, and the violence of removal. I’m exploring new ways to record this liquid as a material archive. Preservation is its own fiction: a constructed system of control.

Details of the Herbarium Room (2025) exhibited in @thephotographersgallery .
A collaboration between @jack__jesse and @a_piece_of_triss .

This work examines the historical and ongoing implications of botanical collection practices that began during the colonial period. Herbarium sheets are used as a central motif to reference the systematic removal and transplantation of plant species by European colonizers. These practices contributed to the creation of major botanical institutions, such as royal botanic gardens, which often presented these relocated species as part of scientific and national prestige.

In this project, a fictional botanic garden is constructed using fabricated herbarium sheets. These sheets are composed of flora images sourced from Flickr, a public image-sharing platform. The use of openly available digital material highlights the tension between public access and institutional claims of ownership. As many botanical institutions digitize their herbarium collections and assert intellectual property rights over them, this work raises questions about the basis of such claims, particularly when the original materials were collected under colonial conditions.

The project invites reflection on the historical context of botanical archives and the current practices surrounding their digital reproduction and ownership. It questions how institutions define and justify their authority over materials that may not have been obtained with consent, and whose origins lie outside their cultural and geographical domains.

Herbarium Room (2025)
Found objects, Photograph collage

A pleasure having the opportunity to show our collaborative work and ongoing project @thephotographersgallery alongside friends and computational artists to celebrate the 21st birthday of @flickr. A huge thank you to @gluck and @plummerfernandez for making it happen.

This work explores systems of order, categorisation, collection and archival logic, questioning how botanical knowledge is stored, separated, and valued. Using the Flickr API, we sourced publicly shared images tagged with “marigold” and extracted the botanical element from each photograph-isolating the flower from its original context, environment, and narrative.

Each marigold is printed and mounted onto an archival sheet, echoing the aesthetics of institutional specimen collections. However, by removing the flower from its surrounding image, the piece disrupts the original intention of the photograph, challenging the viewer to consider what is lost and what is invented when nature is reduced to data or specimen.

This newly constructed archive is presented alongside a personal collection of old newspapers hoarded by one of the artist’s father, whose obsessive method of keeping information reflects a different form of categorisation: one driven by sentiment, accumulation, and domestic routine. Juxtaposing the informality of familial storage with the authority of scientific documentation, the piece invites reflection on what we choose to preserve, how we impose structure on the natural world, and the quiet chaos of personal and public memory.
