Land Art sessions & Residencies
We create land art and outdoor sculptures from natural materials on the Garden Route to support appreciation for the incredible biodiversity and beauty of the area & to encourage conservation involvement and action. We also offer workshops and residencies to offer you the opportunity to do the same in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Land art – also called Earth art, environmental art, or nature art – involves the use of local natural materials such as soil, leaves, sand, or rock to create artistic expressions in outdoor spaces. The focus is often on having a dialogue with the site or natural elements, and the art itself being temporary – the artwork is destroyed by the wind, incoming tide or by animals, and thus the artwork lives on in the mind of the artist(s) or as a photo, video or sketch.
Not only do we not leave a lasting impact on the site, but this way of creating art also emphasizes the impermanence and flux of life – putting into focus how fragile and temporary our lives are in relation to geological time, even though we tend to strive so hard for longevity and eternal youth.
Contact us about facilitating workshops for groups – which could include school kids, students, colleagues, friends or spiritual groups – as immersive experiences in which participants connect to the elements, the place we’ve chosen for the session, and then start to have a sensitive dialogue with the land – creating artistic expressions either individually or collectively.

Events & Project space
We create educational events, workshops, experimental projects, and interactive opportunities to learn, create and explore.
We are guided by a commitment to reciprocal, regenerative & empowering practices.
