I am an interdisciplinary artist/researcher and my practice explores relationships between our language/s, bodies (human and non-human) and spaces. I am interested in how we understand our spaces and ecosystems, how they shape our interactions and the stories they hold.
I often work with different forms of storytelling and I am curious about the possibilities of language to exist at the intersection of past, present and future, allowing an insight into our histories and also a framework with which to shape our futures.
My recent research and practice explore the relations between soil and border; the histories and futures of maps as practices of defining, categorising and conjuring; and how we engage with practices of queering and muddying the border.
I am interested in methods of creating with others and participatory and caring spaces of learning, sharing and making. I collaborate with others working at the intersections of art and architecture with a focus on the creative research of different spaces and ecosystems. I am also part of subterranean, a collective with architect/artist Shivani Shah, which explores the capacity of movement practice to grow empathy, draw connections and create relations between our bodies and the bodies of others (people, plants, waters).
