About the host:
Arran Gregory is a British Sri-Lankan sculptor and artist based in London. His practice seeks to perceive the self through nature, rather than nature through the self.
Through his series 'Earth Body', living land art interventions made from unfired clay and gathered materials, he invites the environment as collaborator.
Working across sculpture and site-responsive installation, Gregory’s approach is both physical and philosophical, rooted in a deep engagement with the natural world and a desire to rethink our place within it.
In line with OmVed Gardens’ 2026 theme, Listening as Care, his work is a commitment to natural materials and intuitive processes,
exploring the relationship between the human body and the wider ecology it belongs to.
