Rebecca Wynn Kelly works at the intersection of sculpture, ecology, and myth as a “species architect” exploring how we might reimagine our relationship with the land. Rooted in West Wales, her work blends habitat creation with storytelling and folklore to ask who—and what—we build the landscape for.
