About

Agnes is an artist, science communicator and creator of We Are Stardust - a place where art and science collide to enrich your experience of and relationship with our messy, beautiful universe.She creates artwork that inspires connection with the more-than-human world and online adventures that encourage you to rewild your soul.Based in Bedfordshire, UK, she works from a little office-studio in her home filled with sketches and books and sticks and pine cones and plants.We talk about the synergies between the night sky and our bodies - We Are Stardust after all, but also knowledge vs. experience, information vs. understanding of this whole world - both human and planetary - we live in.I see many similarities between climate change and chronic illness, especially in how we, as a society, believe we should ‘deal with them’. Agnes has a beautiful perspective on how to live in harmony with this planet, this universe, we are a part of, how to see beauty in the darkness and how, ultimately, this can all help with the way we approach things like winter and climate change, and in my mind, the relationship we have with our bodies and our chronic illnesses.Other things we covered;Resisting winter when it’s exactly what we need to feel and be in, in order to know what we need to know.Healing productivity and eternal summer - always being ‘on’. Fertile void and allowing yourself to stop.Stargazing.LINKS:We Are Stardust - Agnes' website - https://wearestardust.myshopify.com/We Are Stardust InstagramYour Chronic Illness Superpower: click here to tap into the wisdom of your chronic illness and start living in the way you truly want to be living, from the day-to-day to the big dream stuff.
