What happens when we are not don’t have the time to properly explore an idea, a hyperfocus, a special interest? We put the idea aside and hope that it is still there when we come back to it. I chose to explore this by visualising ideas as living, organic things kept in an array of jars on a dusty shelf. While left alone some have fermented, grown into glittering masses of mycelium and mould. Some are pushing at the jar lids, seeping out, and others have withered and desiccated.

This is an ongoing project, begun during the AtelierAIR Residence in Ireland, July 2025.
