Holly de Moissac: grafting shadows

At the edge of awareness, quiet disturbances remake the world: a stray spark meets the forest, precious helium leaks from a cast-off balloon, a seed crosses oceans on the sole of a shoe. In our fleeting bodies, pain and experience ripple toward the brain in feedback loops—we too are transformed, prepared for uncertain futures as soft disasters teach survival to the mind.

Grafting Shadows employs disturbance as the ghost-writer of the global ecology, telling stories shaped by the vast potentials of discomfort and disaster to both disrupt and strengthen systems of life. These immersive installations and printed works draw close to sites of ecological disconnection, imagining embodied environments where vulnerability is productive, change is desirable, and resilience is essential to our collective survival.
