Merging Art, Permaculture, and Cultural Resilience My passions for ceramics and permaculture have beautifully intertwined in this project: handcrafted clay seed jars.
Beyond their practicality, these jars embody a more profound significance honouring seeds’ sacred role in Indigenous cultures.
Seeds are more than life; they are memory, identity, and resilience for Indigenous communities. Passed down through generations, they carry the wisdom of the land and the stories of those who came before.
Each seed is a promise a link between past and future, ensuring food sovereignty, cultural survival, and ecological balance.
Inspired by this profound connection, I carefully hand-build each jar, drawing on the seeds’ natural textures and organic forms.
Using materials from my surroundings to create intricate patterns, making every piece a unique reflection of nature’s beauty.
These seed jars are not just functional containers but a celebration of art and cultural heritage.
Seeds are sacred relatives, nurtured with care and respect.
They sustain not only bodies but also traditions, ceremonies, and the rhythms of life itself.
As climate change threatens traditional land and food systems, Indigenous communities continue to safeguard and share their seeds, offering solutions rooted in harmony with nature.
I hope to echo this spirit of resistance, renewal and hope through my seed jars.
Each jar serves as a reminder that the future is sown with the care we give today blending creativity with the timeless wisdom of those who live in deep connection with the earth.
