Savannah Wheeler

Savannah Wheeler’s practice investigates how a materially responsive sculptural process can reframe our understanding of care, positioning transformation and responsiveness as methods for reassembling place. Working with bioplastics derived from gelatin and corn starch, Wheeler examines how material instability can articulate relation and attention. Sensitive to humidity, temperature, and touch, the bioplastics resist control, becoming both subject and collaborator. In this resistance, sculptural practice emerges as a site of adaptive correspondence between material behaviour and environmental conditions.
