bones tan jones
In this workshop, artist bones tan jones will walk us through the process of foraging for local herbs and transforming them into healing balms for first aid, muscle relief and skin health, using a process that honours the pagan traditions of respectful foraging, planetary herbalism and sigil imbued vessels. Utilising the natural pharmacy that exists across Boscombe, we will learn with and from the herbs that know the land there better than we ever could. We will leave offerings of clay to the ground we forage from, before using alchemy to turn them into tools for healing.
bones tan jones is a London-based artist. Their practice is rooted in the desire for an alternative, queer, optimistic dystopia. Bones works through ritual and meditative craft to engage with nature, and create narratives that encourage audiences to think more sustainably and ethically. Recent commissions include the Shanghai Biennale (2021), the Athens Biennale (2021) and Serpentine (2019).
