The Book That Grew

The Book That Grew is a grazing guide created for farmers in Ireland. The book presents 10 lessons and 10 pieces of practical advice that help improve sustainability on farms. Each page, each word and each diagram was formed by real grass roots as they grew. The roots were guided over several weeks by a combination of gardening and careful craft, so the printing process was completed by nature.

In quantum physics, entanglement happens when two or more particles from the same origin become linked and share spatial proximity even when separated by large distances.

The lenses of quantum entanglement are a transformative force within creative practices. They inspire this artist to explore the essence of reality and interconnectedness and encourage her to dismantle traditional disciplinary boundaries and walls.
