I collect things, I chew them up. I put them in a pile, and they merge. Snippets of texts, a note in the margin, screenshots and ornaments rub against each other until they become something else. A fertiliser for new ideas to grow from. The seed of this project was a climate crisis-related numbness: I felt stuck between individual responsibility and powerlessness. Between wanting immediate restorative action and realising the need for a deeper systematic change. I began digging into the history of the Western view on nature, tracing its dark roots. Now, two years later, I re-emerge, and I want to share my findings. Using collage as a visual translation of the compost pile, the project is an expression of multiple voices, exemplifying the need for collective thinking and action in these matters. With the Compost Compendium I offer a collection of entry points into a reimagining of the relationship we have with the ecologies in and around us. I have filled it with things that have inspired me, angered me, puzzled me, made me smarter, made me laugh, made me want to get my hands dirty. I invite my reader to go foraging and collect their own pile. Dive into it and share it with a friend.
