Jemma Foster
Deep Listening and Primal Sensing of More-Than-Human Intelligence
“Plants are our kin and ancestors,” says Jemma Foster, an artist, writer, and researcher-advocate of plants, “and these masters of adaptation and survival can be our greatest teachers, if only we learn to listen.” Through her numerous creative expressions, Jemma invites us to surrender our thinking minds, expand our listening to include whole body sensing, then “become plant.” From that experiential ground, she asks, “What future will we dream when we dream with the more-than-human?”
Jemma's work explores fragile ecologies and agricultural processes through more-than-human soundscapes, emerging technologies, as well as the role of ritual. She is founder and co-founder of several such projects. Like a multi-media art collective, Wild Alchemy Lab, that publishes an augmented-reality print journal exploring ecology, science, and esoterica at the intersection of art and technology, featuring some of the world’s leading creatives and thinkers. She is the author of a book, Sacred Geometry: How to Use Cosmic Patterns to Power Up Your Life, and an illustrated card deck where alchemy meets astrology, offering remedies to heal the emotional and physical body, Wild Alchemy Lab: An Astro-Botanical Remedy Deck.
“Plants are an orchestra,” Jemma says. “There’s a symphony happening beneath our feet.”
