I am an interdisciplinary artist whose work is responsive to the environment.
Ecology is the study of relationships between living organisms. My installations are large-scale works concerned with smaller-scale sculptures made up of and resembling living organisms within an ecosystem and the capacity they have to hold space.
These individual sculptures create post-apocalyptic landscapes which offer a narrative towards regrowth and hope.
Rather than exploring two binaries, I seek to understand the space in between. This is articulated through exploring a material relationship between what is perceived as natural and industrial. The human-centric definition of the Anthropocene is explored through this relationship, understanding that the environment will continue without us regardless of our actions.
Understood through a queer and neurodivergent lens, the processes which create installations build the foundations for these relationships. Different modes of time, such as crip time and queer time, alongside deep time, undercut the work. Material degradation and care provide a foundation for this tension, where the natural life cycle runs parallel to our own, disrupted and altered.
