About
I am intrigued by the eco-poetic and sensuous state of entanglement that unfolds between plants, light, humans and more-than-human life — microbial worlds, colour processes, fibres, water and collective memory. Our extended mind and embodiment reveal how we are all intertwined within the ecosphere and the essence of our ecological reality.
My research is grounded in deep and extensive investigation — experimental, embodied, literary, archival and historical, into plants, water, colour, methods, colonisation and rights connected to holistic medical, scientific and historical knowledge. Through this I seek to reach complex processes that move beyond our current systems of thought.I understand these processes as part of a living, predictive ecology — where colour and microbes, water and fibre, think together through change.
“I view plants and seaweed as powerful entities, living beings with their own will and intelligence. Water, too, holds its own memory; they are partners in a profound and reciprocal dialogue.”
I delve into each plant, its medicinal properties and slow fermentation processes for colour and food, exploring how plants and microbes communicate with us in somatic and intelligent ways that sustain and share.
This forms an intimate link to our ecological heritage, to rituals of cultivation and care.
I work with botanical matter as an artistic material, not as a resource. My focus lies in human and non-human interconnectedness and in revealing new narratives through which we can imagine and embrace an ecological future.
