Medieval Cone Dancers with Mugwort & Dandelion
Cone Dancing is a vehicular ritual celebrated across the South West.
Dating back to the early 14 Century the practice involves an erratic dance, performed in M.O.T. season, in a bid to draw bad luck away from the vehicle and into the Cone.
Sources state that Dancers would often use herbs such as mugwort for engine protection and Dandelion to cleanse the fuel system.
About Libby
Libby Bove is a multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and folklorist. Her work is centred around ideas which reposition folk custom and magical practice back at the forefront of daily life. Drawing on archival methodologies and documentary, her work slips between fact and fiction. By employing traditional craft processes, plausibility is woven into constructed myths; transposing ideas of ancient customs, traditions and rituals into incongruous contemporary settings, non-existent pasts, and speculative future landscapes.
Working across a range of media including ceramics, textiles and found objects, she creates sculptural works, masks, and wearable costume pieces. These physical elements are brought together through performative photographic tableaux, where they become visual narratives that evoke both archival documentation and surreal fever dreams. Authenticity, and the potential for the work to be believable, is integral to her practice; physical works are often accompanied by ‘field’ recordings, ‘documentation’ of folk songs, and descriptive ‘historic’ texts, all aimed at crafting a palpable form of surround sound storytelling.
A central theme within her practice is Roadside Magic, an imagined construct where plant knowledge, magic and ritual play essential roles in the repair and maintenance of vehicles. Inspired by Albions rich history of folk magic, alongside her own lived experience of life on the road, both professionally and domestically. Roadside Magic, seeks to re-establish the valuable role of everyday ritual.

Beneath the Surface of Skin (2025)
This text considers the politicisation of skin - our personal experience of our own skin and how it is read, understood, misunderstood, vilified and so on. It asks us to consider it as permeable barrier between our internal and external worlds - and its role as protection. It is the membrane that contains our physical forms and our emotional landscapes. It is used to control and manipulate when weaponised by those interested in power. But it is for us and only us to allow another under the surface of our skin.

Martyn Cross T-Shirt
Front printed black T-Shirt
Cost £35 plus £5 p&p
Edition of 100
The t-shirt design is taken from a series of drawings by Martyn that he made whilst on a recent residency in Angus, Scotland. He visited the graveyard of his great, great, great, great grandfather, but there was no evidence of the cemetery itself as it was just a large patch of grass. You could, however, part the grass in certain areas and see fragments of tombstones laid flat here and there. Martyn got to thinking about what's below the surface and our connection to the world beneath our feet.
