Rewilding Drumlins

Drumlins are significant glacial topographic features in my area and as such they have become prime sites for building. Situated in 2050, “Rewilding Drumlins” imagines a time when the developers’ collective boot print is finally lifted off this gift of the glaciers. Habitats restored. This is the world I wish to inhabit.

Erlenmeyer Imposter – Lichen

The Erlenmeyer Imposter felted lab flasks are remakes of the lab workhorse invented by a man. My view is that we women of science deserve bold, unbreakable flasks full of life that represent our resilience, tenacity and ingenuity.
