Over the course of 2023, Katie Spragg engaged in a multi-site residency, traveling from Braemar, Scotland to Hauser & Wirth Menorca and concluding at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Though exploring these landscapes and meeting local people through clay workshops and walks the artist had many insightful conversations. These interactions with herbalists, florists, landscapers, local families, school children and carers, combined with their own exploration of plants, have layered upon existing knowledge. The plants encountered are woven into the sculptures made, layering new stories, names and uses.

This piece in particular focuses on tiny woodrush plants emerging among moss in Scottish woodland.
