Serpentine Garden Studio & Garden Party Magic
Serpentine Garden is an ongoing exploration of the relationship between nature, creativity, and personal & visual mythologies. What began as an immersive biodynamic gardening practice that I built from scratch in the high desert of New Mexico, has evolved into a broader metaphysical inquiry into how we cultivate connection with the organic world through attention, & imagination.
The project operates through an inquisitive array of seasonal practices, from herbalism and food art, to tarot, mycelium growth, soil, poetry, and solo pilgrimages to ancient & untamed terrains. Drawing from animism, folklore, and Jungian psychology, these are tools I use to investigate how outer landscapes mirror and deepen the wells of our interior. At its core, it is an playful devotion to mystery and to the land from which we emerge.
Moving between wild landscapes, cultivated spaces, and artistic practice, it is less a place than a way of seeing. It is where I learn to listen to the more-than-human world, how I negotiate my sense of belonging, and the way I find the nourishment needed in order to return to the harsh cultural systems that numb and disconnect us.
Growing up without a strong sense of family roots or history - plants, nature, and feral landscapes became a source of gravity and expansion. They offered me a form of lineage, home, guidance, and empowerment where none were provided. This practice has become a way of understanding identity through participation rather than traditional notions of inheritance. A realm where I am no longer a visitor weaving in and out of man-made systems, but where i exist in direct relationship to the cosmos, living as an extension of the earth itself.
