I am a creative researcher and facilitator who considers healing and wellbeing,
both personal and choral, in resonance with matter,
more-than-human life, and the cosmos.
I use drawing as a core method of digestion and translation of the world around me.
From these blueprints emerge text, sculpture, textile, and collage to create assemblies;
found and made objects simultaneously vibrate together and queer each other
to interrogate the complex negotiations involved in living and being on the planet.
The work is transdisciplinary with a strong theoretical component,
interweaving practices of making with research undertaken in ecocriticism
and speculative feminism.
Currently, I am experimenting with non-linearity and salvaging in relation
to the ritual of making. Older works are being reused to make anew, creating
cyclical and re-emergent threads of labour within my practice. I am interested in
how this labour is made known to an audience through the layers of time and
space that are held in-tact by found, salvaged, and reused materials.
Contemplating discarded matter as a resource for making has been a vital element
to my creative research practice, becoming a core approach to how I
establish methods and patterns of workflow that are conducive
to my, and more-than-human, wellbeing.
I am founder and co-editor of a fledgling online archive called
MUCK (Must Use Critical Knowledge),
which exists to support and platform critical art writing.
