Tool/Toy Project is a collaboration between Welsh artists & designers, Rachel Jones & Maegan Icke.
We respond creatively to themes of work, play, domestic life, seasonality, cycles, and sustainability, blending art & science communication throughout our practice. Through workshops, walks, and performative research installations. We produce objects, experiences, and spaces that reflect our place within the environment.
Ling Warlow, a paper artist specialising in botanical art, she creates three-dimensional mixed media sculptures of British wildflowers, trees and grasses. Inspired by regular walks in her local landscape, she works with foraged materials such as fallen branches, leaves and seed heads, exploring themes of diversity, loss and celebration. Drawn to overlooked plants of wayside, scrub and woodland, her detailed and often oversized sculptures reveal intricacies not visible to the naked eye, inviting closer attention to species too often dismissed as weeds. Guided by a commitment to sustainability, she uses natural dyes from plants such as nettle, alder and weld, creating an organic palette that honours the complexity and ecological significance of even the humblest flower.
