Experiential Designer, viSUAL Artist & Regenerative Futurist. Feeldwork Founder & Practicing Polymath.
I’m Gabby Morris, a polymathic designer, artist and regenerative futurist who cannot, and probably should not, be Pigeonhole(d).
Working with Feeldwork, I create site-specific and place-based projects that explore how people feel about the places they live in, the futures coming towards them, and the messy, beautiful systems they are already part of.
My work wanders through soil, water, food, rural landscapes, coastal towns, feral infrastructures and interspecies lives, asking what happens when change is not just planned, but sensed.
I work across sculpture, ceramics, photography, writing, workshops and immersive public engagement, creating projects that sit in the lively tension between care and control, human systems and more-than-human worlds, the planned and the feral.
I’m currently working as Town Artist on a two-year social change project in Buckie called Sea Change, supporting the community to explore what a Just Transition Plan could mean for the town through culture, creativity and place-based engagement. The project is for Culture for Climate Scotland alongside NatureScot and the Marine Directorate, and connects local voices, coastal futures, climate transition and community imagination.
