Visual artist Katy Connor shares her explorations around the practice of hydroponics: the art of growing plants in a chemical solution without the use of soil. 

Katy has constructed a number of living hydroponic systems, that offer a fresh way of engaging with the ecologies of food production, technological arts practices and community engagement with nature. Using a live video link to her artists’ Studio in Spike Island, Katy will take you on a guided tour of the experimental systems and artworks she has created. Discover what she learned from her experience of working with living materials and what she plans to do next.

Watershed's Artist Residency programme is made possible with the support and funding of Arts Council England.
