OT is the creative force behind Xintong Qin-a London-based frog witch wandering/sometimes farm-crawling between city and nature.˂⁽ˈ₍ ⁾˲₎₌ She has resided in a range of small farms while learning and practicing permaculture. Using found objects as well as natural materials to craft occult artworks, she is on a quest to build her own tiny, whimsical world, one where she is free to relax and explore the hidden realms of nature.(๑˘ ˘๑)
