Contributing Artists

Paige Emery is an ecological artist and herbalist exploring rituals of remembering the Earth. Her work is interweaves healing arts and critical ecology, ancestral memory and embodied futurities, ecopoetics and socioenvironmental praxis. As a way of life, her practice is rooted in reverence for and reciprocity with the Earth.
Stemming from a background in art, herbalism, ecophilosophy, environmentalism, and learning from the Earth, Paige’s work serves as a bridge between the internal and external landscapes of ecological consciousness. This takes shape through multitudes of entangled forms, such as music for plant meditations, multispecies installations that help plants grow, paintings made with handmade plant paint, plant rituals for multispecies communication, guided ecology walks, herbal consultations, and plant remedies shared with her community.

Previous works include art installations for more-than-human divination systems at Biosphere 2, Arizona, multispecies ecopoetics at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, guided sonic hypnosis for healing in the dream state at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, performance lectures on divinatory ecologies for more-than-human time at Gray Area Festival, plant rituals for memory gardens at Biennale Gherdëina, Italy, guerrilla gardens with houseless neighbors as acts of social resistance and care at Echo Park Lake, guided ecology walks with Architecture and Design Museum, and her plant remedies for transitioning between worlds at Earth Medicine Apothecary.
