SAUSAL CREEK IVY LEAGUE 

​​

Sausal Creek Ivy League is a group of friends and artists interested in collaborating with English Ivy. We create art and material culture as a means of creatively commonning with each other and the lands and waters of the Sausal Creek Watershed in Oakland, CA. Though ivy has been our main point of entry we also collaborate with the many other of the plants elements, trash, animals and substances present on that land.

​

As a means of participating in the ongoing healing process the land is going through both by it's own intelligence as well as through human remediation efforts, we create inks, dyes, baskets, paper, medicine, and adornment with one of the most abundant and scorned invasive plants; English Ivy.

 

The art we create with these materials will be stories, images, vessels and adornment that investigate, celebrate, grieve, remember and speculate about our relationships with the place we live. We hope that by creating a culture of direct interaction with English Ivy we can help keep this thriving plant in check while also acknowledging and respecting the place it holds in our disturbed environment.
