There are 15000 species of non-human Londoners. I spent four months drawing the 243 listed as priority species on the London Biodiversity Action Plan - and trying to learn their names: As Simon Barnes guides us in ‘Rewild Yourself’, you can restructure the architecture of your brain by learning the names of our more than human neighbours and making a home for them in your imagination. The QR codes in the prayerbooks within the sculpture link to maps and the names of all of the species and a fact or story about each to help us remember them.
The word ‘dome’ originates in the P.I.E root ‘dem’, - it’s the root of the word ‘home’ as well as the word ‘endangered’. ‘May we turn inwards and stumble upon our true roots, in the intertwining biology of this exquisite planet. May nourishment and power pulse through these roots, and fierce determination to continue the billion year dance’ - John Seed , Thinking Like a Mountain’. ‘ Now it can dawn on us: we are the world knowing itself. We can relinquish our isolation . We can come home again.. come home to our mutual belonging ‘ Joanna Macy, ‘World as Lover , World as Self’
