"Babytooth (or Plagiomnium cuspidatum) is a species of moss and addition to my series exploring organic and artificial structures as an investigation into social housing. I was inspired by my bathroom ceiling and wanted to highlight the consequences of relying on housing associations. Having already researched moss and other lifeforms, I could envisage babytooth moss growing inside our bathroom with condensation and the tears and cracks in the ceiling creating its own greenhouse."
