Greenhouse Raft (2019) mixed media sculpture + ‘BoatBack-Liveaboard’ (2019) 6m x 3m printed poster
Inspired by resourcefulness seen on the British waterways, retro tent design and greenhouses, the towable floating structure provides the narrowboater with additional space to grow food and medicinal plants. This was made as a retrospective wish after trying to grow food on a canal boat with limited space. The miniature vegetables which grew caused immense satisfaction, which led to a therapeutic re-making of them as crafted ornaments.
