This edition of ‘Crip Ecologies’ was created for Walden’s solo exhibition ‘object transformations through the co-ordinate of time’ at Grundy Gallery, UK; It features materials found locally to the gallery along the Fylde coast. The work is part of an ongoing series that began in 2018, highlighting the fragility of our ecologies, and questioning what is assigned worth in the midst of late-stage capitalism and climate collapse.
