Through an interdisciplinary and experimental practice, I grow bacteria, paint with rainwater, record soundscapes, and design public furniture to create animate objects of contemplation that question perception, connection and change.

Growing up on a farm committed to fostering biodiversity opened my senses to the subtle processes and interdependences at play within the landscape. In this moment of intense ecological politics, I believe it’s vital to query our relationality with non-human worlds . Through inviting sensory organ microbiomes into my paintings, I am not only questioning where human and non-human begin and end but that from different perspectives and scales all boundaries dissolve. Collected rainwater acts as a medium, carrying and interacting with mineral pigments across the painting surface. These gossamer-like watercolors currently play a central role in my practice.

Through collaboratively recording sound at simultaneous times around the world and mixing them together, I search for temporal aural and rhythmic relationships. And by redesigning and democratising public furniture, I propose a transformation of exclusive experiences to inclusive ones.

My practices are interconnected through a reparative and fluid array of perspectives inspired by biodiverse farming, the art movement Mono-ha, translator and poet Rosmarie Waldrop, author Cristina Rivera Garza, and much more. I ground my influences in a ‘telepathic understanding of form’. The metaphysical experience cited by artist Nobuo Sekine, that recognises the ability to communicate with an artwork.
