Coming Soon! I am thrilled to be able to tell you about Land Art Connection, a map of enchanted connections in collaboration with The Malvern Hills National Landscape.

This project is a joy to be involved in, allowing my practice as a Reparative Land Artist to explore, value and appreciate our natural environment with our community through creativity.

The art from our diverse community will be shared on an online interactive map, connecting memories and enchanted experiences with our local landscape.

Over the past year we have worked with community groups and individuals, from ages spanning nine decades, together we have shared memories and captured our enchanted experiences with our local Malvern Hills National Landscape.

More details to be released in the next two months, please contact me for more details.

THE SWIFTS ARE COMING!

SWIFT DRIFT by Juliet Mootz with The Worcestershire Wildlife Trust & The Worcester Plinth

Juliet Mootz is a multidisciplinary artist working to open conversations and raise awareness of stories in our natural environment. She uses natural and salvaged materials wherever possible and uses simple construction techniques to build and make. Worcestershire Wildlife Trust manages more than 75 special places for wildlife and supports people to help wildlife across the county. Working with members, volunteers, landowners and communities of all sorts, the Trust inspires and encourages people to care for wildlife where they live.www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/

Swifts travel 14,000 miles to spend their summers with us but their numbers are plummeting. We can help! Residents in Worcester have been putting up swift boxes to give them space to breed and are planting flowers to support the insects that they need to eat. The swift sculptures will eventually move to new homes around Worcester where communities will pack cut wildflower meadow grass between the woven willows. The sculptures will gradually be reclaimed into the earth and wildflowers will grow, providing new habitat and food sources for the insects, which can feed the returning swifts.

Thanks to Sarah Maggie Jones and University of Worcester Fine Art and Psychology students Abigail Green and Sarah Thorp for assisting with the flower sculptures. Additional support appreciated from Jess Mathews (University of Worcester), Matt Duston and @jonthebasket for assistance sourcing
