Living off the Land

Waylon analyses and documents food economics, harvesting, production, preparation, packaging, transport, consumption, and disposal.

Spaces and lifestyle created around produce

understanding existing centralized industrial agriculture, medicine and health to vernacular traditional methods, to emerging new age practices, he interweaves them with landscape architecture and lifestyle design.

Mapping food forests

For Waylon, medium and material are organically defined by the direction and requirement of an assignment – he concentrates on local and regionally available produce, highlighting their integral qualities and histories, besides practicing ethical resource management.

Growing, harvesting and culinary experimentation

The farm-to-table philosophy embraces a sustainable approach to agriculture and dining. At its heart, the concept is simple: there is value in eating locally.

Religion and Ritual

Waylon explores the intersection between ecology, native theology, rites and rituals to bridge lost understanding of their evolution. through discourse and public art installations

local Religion & Reflections
Roien Reborn ; Serendipty Festival 2018

The installation strove to bring epiphanies with a wide range of audiences by co-relating an earth goddess Santeri / Shantadurga, with how termites and humans act as a collective species and bringing deep from the earth, material and energy to manifest citadels of our evolution, but are ahead of us by millions of years as recyclers of detritus and custodians of soil and water

The plastic signifies the material we mine like termites and the light as the energy we use to power our vast metropolises, with a yearning that some day we can embody how they benifit the ecosystem around them with their development and colonization of 6 continents.

The gold you see is discarded gift wrappers, along with termite mound soil, iron ore and compost. 

The shed snake skin represents Naga, the symbolise the Male Energy, Infinity, Timelessness,They are also associated with waters—rivers, lakes, seas and are guardians of treasure  and reside in the underworld/termite mound.

Most of these were salvaged from the goan landscape.

The termite mound symbolically represent goddess Shantadurga as well as goddess Santeri. The worship of ant-hills may have originated among aboriginal tribes of Konkan. In most areas, the sacred termite mound is identified with a village goddess (in pastoral areas, a god). The deity does not represent the anthill, or vice versa; the anthill is the deity, and the deity is the anthill: mound and deity are regarded as one.
