Alluvial Grounds explores the ecological, cultural, and political dimensions of wild clay in the Netherlands through foraging and field investigation. Grounded in the belief that harvesting can be a form of activism, the project examines how local clay practices reveal broader dynamics of land management and resource extraction advocating for more caring and situated approaches.
Developed in collaboration with Crafts Council Nederland, Alluvial Grounds was presented within (W)aardewerk in Hangzhou’s Creative Industry Expo, China and De Fabriek, Eindhoven, during DDW 2025. The exhibition addresses urgent questions around material extraction and ceramic production, exploring sustainable future perspectives.
