Bridget Fairbank uses the metaphorical landscapes of flora as a catalyst for making work about the discourses that mediate our relationships. Through project based ceramic installation and orchestrated happenings she aims to formulate strategies for modern existence- working to implicate and empower a viewer through sensory enjoyment and social engagement.
