dyke is an ongoing collaborative making and presentation project that queers landscapes through the practice of dry stone walling. Rooted in the dual cultural resonance of the word dyke - meaning a dry stone wall in Scots and a reclaimed queer slur - the project considers labour, resilience, and belonging within Welsh and Scottish ecologies through performance, traditional skill-sharing, and community-building.

By queering ecological, linguistic, and social boundaries, dyke reframes drystone walls as sites of care, regeneration, and connection rather than division.
