Collaborative, participatory work.
Visitors were invited to unweave a large fabric print of the local grassland commons, echoing the path erosion and ecological and biodiversity loss. Participants were then invited to reweave the pulled threads, creating a new, collaborative cloth.
Made in collaboration with Nicola Builder, Saori Weaver (Wayward Weaves) and Deborah Roberts, conservationist
