Ailie Rutherford’s practice is fuelled by dialogues on the future of places, utopias and dystopias. Through the use of mysterious pseudo-psychic experiments, she initiates automatic drawing inviting people to depict their desires, aspirations and dreams. Recent works have explored the bizarre evidence that plants have an ability to preconceive events, transmitting that knowledge to humans.
For her residency at the National Wildflower Centre, Ailie invited participants to tap into the clairvoyant abilities of plants and work together to build a model of our shared visions of the future.
This event was open to all to participate, in four drop in sessions at the National Wildflower Centre (*).
* The National Wildflower Centre was originally located in Knowsley, Merseyside. In 2018 the centre relocated to the Eden Project in Cornwall.
