The Burrow (2026)

This is an interactive installation piece where people can go inside a fabric burrow and sit with giant fabric worms.

I started this project because I wanted to make giant worms. But if you burrow down into it there's a bit more to it than that.

Worms are 100x stronger than humans. I relate to worms because of their bendiness, but unfortunately my bendy hypermobile body is not strong like theirs. I need medication to keep my pain at bay. I need support, from friends and family, to thrive. I need cushions and braces to hold my body in the correct position.

Worms support the natural ecosystem of the soil, turning waste into new life. They are the backbone to our ecosystem. Keeping soil turned and debris decomposed. In that way, being held by a worm feels very comforting to me.

As a queer & Disabled person, I often feel like an outsider. This distance from the mainstream allows me to see what may seem dirty or mundane as extraordinary and beautiful. I see the beauty and power of these creepy crawlies, and I can’t get enough.

This piece is made out of old bedding, and the canopy is naturally dyed with mud prints. I wanted to play with the relationship between indoors and outdoors, and explore comfort and softness in nature.

It became a place for playful connection as people enjoyed chatting and playing with the worms together.
