Roxy Russell is a textile artist whose work explores our growing disconnection from the living world, particularly our relationship with plants. Through embroidery, weaving, and installation, she reflects on the nature–culture divide, human and non-human cohabitation, and the quiet ways nature is controlled, overlooked, or forgotten. Thread is central to her practice. Repetitive, slow processes of stitching and making become acts of attention, fostering intimacy with materials and an embodied awareness of time, labour, and care. This deliberate slowness contrasts with accelerated contemporary life, allowing different temporalities to meet and creating a sense of continuity and connection. Roxy works primarily with simple, biodegradable, and nature-derived materials, embracing material limitation as a pathway toward more sustainable artistic practices. Tension is key in her work: thread can be fragile or strong, delicate or binding, mirroring the complexity of ecological relationships. While addressing urgent environmental concerns such as biodiversity loss and plant blindness, her approach remains poetic and understated. Born in Edinburgh and currently based in North Berwick, Scotland, Roxy has exhibited internationally across Europe and North America and continues to develop projects centred on endangered plant species and ecological awareness.
