Plastic land drain, agricultural twine, barbed wire and chicken wire bound with felted insulation wool - natural and artificial. All salvaged materials from the countryside that link to biodiversity loss yet through their fusion explore the possibility of adaptation and evolution. Part of a series of works using a hollow form, the work suggests the shelter of an ingenious creature that has adapted to the reality of habitat loss by requisitioning new materials it has come across, just as birds have been observed recently using all kinds of industrial materials in their nests. The hollow form is open at both ends creating a hopeful glimpse of light.
