As part of his practice Edd has built a 'darkroom garden' in which he 'grows plants to be used as sustainable alternatives to traditional processes,' for his tactile filmmaking. He is often 'developing film in plants [...] or burying it in the sea,' he says, using organic materials to create emulsions for printmaking.
Edd tells us his work is centred around exploring 'our relationship to ecological crisis and the sixth mass extinction,' his alternative methods closely linking to the themes running through his animations. The artist draws from his own experiences living with chronic PTSD 'to explore similar experiences within the context of climate and ecological crisis,' he says.
