More Heed - Timed Auction
31 AUGUST 2021 - 15 SEPTEMBER 2021Notes
i. Observer. Vessel. Human.
Seeking a new story for our species.
One that is already being told beneath our feet.
An ancient story of connection and balance sustained by symbiotic relations between all parts involved.
Katya Sykes' practice concerns a developing collaboration with the transformative force that is Mycorrhizal fungi. With a Rhyzomatic approach, Sykes re-imagines a new relationship with this mysterious kingdom under the earth. Her process is rooted in trans-species contemplation. She explores the role one plays in-between cycles of life and death, suggesting that in darkness, there lies the potential for narrative integration.
