Becky will be working closely with the Timber team to co-design the experience for the Here is Hope area. She’ll be taking cues from ecology to help craft a space that offers both a space for stillness and reflection and action planning!
Becky Lyon is an English-Jamaican artist working at the intersection of art and ecology. Her art practice dwells in the sticky places between sensing bodies, tactile processes and the touchy-feely, earthly curriculums, power relations, word-world building; softness and slippery edges as rebellious strategies; intimacy and concrete-ologies.
She is interested in art practice as a tool for forging renewed relationships with ecology which she tunes into as a “sourcebook” for co-flourishing in times of ruin. Her work manifests as installations, rituals, photographic objects, handmade moving images and text.
She is founder of Ground Provisions – an artist-led, schooled-by-the-forest for grown ups and the Squishy Sessions research collective-coven. She has an MA Art & Science (CSM), MA Art & Ecology (Goldsmiths) and BA Fashion (Southampton). She is a volunteer London National Park City Ranger. She side-hustles as a consultant and trends researcher for global brands.
