Excerpt spread from the artist’s research publication, 2025

Belladonna Paloma, Rabindranath X Bhose and Oren Shoesmith are three artists collectively exploring the resistant, seductive and mystical ways of boglands. They are interested in what the bog can teach us about trans and queer resilience, as well as how to live in uncertain times of ecological and economic collapse. 

As part of Gaada’s 2023/25 programme Digging a deeper creative ecology the trio were commissioned to develop designs for artist works which will be incorporated into the organisation’s redeveloped building.

You can read more about the commission here, or visit the exhibition outside Toogs Artist Workshop Tues-Sat, until August 1st.
