More Than You Could Ever Know

This work question how culture, domesticity and religion create division between us and the natural world; between us and our own organic nature.

The images gently reflect on what is considered socially acceptable both historically and currently and how we treat ourselves, each other and the world we live in because of those rules.

The images ask to break free from convention and connect back in to a wilder, freer place.

More Than You Could Ever Know expresses a visceral and emotional experience of connection to nature and to self to remind us that to stop environmental destruction we must first understand that humans are one part of a whole organic system. The images take us beyond the confines of civilisation and bring us back to the earth, the wind and the wild. 

“Things were separated out into neat categories and it has taken millennia to work out that we live in a web of intricately connected plants, fungi, conditions of weather, climate, terrain….that we are one thing” Laura Beatty ‘Looking for Theophrastus’

In these images nature takes precedent and body and soul merge with the landscape.
