In this section I collect the Living Sculptures I did before and during the pandemic.
To make them I put soil between used tiles that had been discarded from a construction company. I planted different UK weeds, like hairy bittercress, sneezewort and pale flax, onto the soil. With a little water and care, they started to grow.
In man-made cities, life is restricted to what we allow to live, but the living organisms rise up to find their way. These pieces showcase what lies underneath the floors we walk on. Tiles and asphalt don’t offer much life, but the layers underneath them do. Soil is full of nutrients and old seeds. To see something growing from them is just a matter of time.
These tiles are commonly used in offices as they can be easily removed to change the electric cables placed underneath them. They are very difficult to recycle and their lifespan is 25 years, when they are replaced by their young sisters.

The piece has been shown indoors and outdoors during different lengths of time, resulting in different outcomes.

Soil, Floor, Soil, Floor was presented in my Graduation Show as the connection point of my area of display; you had to step on the piece to continue through the exhibition.
Asphalt, pavements, floors, shoes — many layers separate us from the natural. Soil, Floor, Soil, Floor showcases the living possibilities that lie underneath the floors we walk on.
Made after Life between the tiles, the grid is lost here, appearing as something more fluid: tiles spreading around and taking the space around them; man-made paths and spaces expanding in all directions.

Although I planted seeds between the tiles, not many plants grew as the exhibition was in December, which I expected and accepted as its nature.

Life between the tiles in conversation with Barbara Weil, Daniel Libeskind and Ramon Llull.
Barbara Weil’s hanging work stands on the top of the piece in the garden of what was her studio-museum, designed for this purpose by Daniel Libeskind.
The architect was inspired by the work of the American artist and the words of the Majorcan writer Ramon Llull for the design of the building.
The piece was exhibited for three and a half months. August-November 2021.
