Madder Routines (2025), is a large scale installation that frames the madder plant that was historically coveted for the alizarin red pigment in its roots, as its protagonist. A new generation of madder has been planted and now populates the Jester site, while an older generation has left a delicate imprint of its root systems on textile.
