Movement improvisation, urban foraging, seed storing, sculpture, community discussions, and tea serving have all been part of her process. Weed Heart investigates resilience, toxicity, invisibility, and power, and offers a ritual to re-connect us to plants, people, and places. Performed by Sigman, vocalist Kristin Norderval, and a cast of spontaneous urban plants in an installation of salvaged metal readymades,” notes the release. Find out more here
