Ashley Peevor a multidisciplinary artist who uses mysticism, absurdity, living costumes (suits grown from local plants) and hydroponics (the art of growing plants in a chemical solution), to reimagine our relationship with nature. Ashley is developing a portable Living Costume Kit and hopes to invite communities worldwide to create locally grown suits and performances. Collectively, the work will share local-global perspectives on our rapidly changing world.

Ashley says:

“I am pushing the development of my Living Costume kits forward to get them to the stage where they can be shipped internationally. Introducing the opportunity to creative communities across the globe to grow their own costumes from indigenous plants and create their own performances using their own performers and ideas that matter to them is exciting. I am interested in disrupting dominant systems of sharing art that parachutes work into communities or uses a community as a workforce to complete an already existing idea. I hope this project will allow participants to literally grow the idea from the bottom up."
