Living landscape artworks in the form of slogans seeded with indigenous wildflower species. I aim to work with nature and the lifecycles which support our pollinators whilst spreading the messages that we are reliant for our food systems on these pollinators we support.
Community groups and individuals are invited to learn about the pollinator /food system interrelationships which help produce around 30% of our edible crops.
Commissioned by North Edinburgh Arts , the Goethe Institut and The Royal Society of Edinburgh.
The Scran Fir Bees project has been enabled by the Edinburgh City Council Housing service, and funded by the University of Edinburgh’s Community Micro-Grant and The National Lottery: Together For Our Planet Fund.
