Spider Sanctuaries

My Spider Sanctuary works are ceramic structures designed to invite spiders into our built environments. Installed on external architectural surfaces, these pieces function as small-scale habitats—shelter, anchor points, and quiet refuges for web-building species.

Envisioned as a gesture toward shared living, the sanctuaries challenge the impulse to exclude or erase the more-than-human from our spaces. Instead, they propose an architecture of coexistence—where spiders are not pests but co-inhabitants, shaping subtle, evolving ecologies across walls, corners, and thresholds.

Through these works, I explore how art can foster intimacy, curiosity, and care for overlooked species, inviting new relationships between humans, materials, and the living systems that surround us.
