I am an artist-researcher and my practice is concerned with looking into our relationships to place, to time, to climate and to culture.
My current practice explores seasonality through relationships that incorporate the experience of being, with and alongside seasons, the recognition of sequence within lived experiences in different climates, and the tension between climates / phenological / meteorological / solar / cultural events around which we build culture.
Within my practice I explore the tensions within those relationships as well as the speculative opportunities that they provide through folk knowledge and folklore. I am interested in how the frameworks of these relationships and how through the act of noticing we may be able to reframe, de-stabilise and re-scale our relationships to the climates and bioregions in which we live, hopefully making for more sustainable arts practices as well as for more present ways within which we can interact with the environments, processes and beings around and within us.
