My practice currently explores watery spaces as sites of entanglement, where bodies, beings, and matter intra-act. Human’s relate to water routinely through an extractive paradigm. The aim is to re-imagine and contextualize water as an embodied relational material that can tangentially sustain life and also be sustained healthily itself by reducing anthropogenic harms to it and its biomes.

​

Drawing on ecofeminist and posthuman theory, I understand the sea as both material and metaphor. My work traces parallels between the visual-cultural production of the monstrous feminine and ecological abjection, asking how patriarchal and neoliberal systems generate and sustain both. In this context, the monstrous is not a site of horror, but a generative force; one that enables new hyphenated assemblages of relation to emerge.

​

Through photography, sound art and expanded textiles I create acts of becoming: becoming water, becoming other, being wet. Employing a heterotopic aesthetic that responds to experiences of outsiderness and re-imagines subjectivity as porous, relational, and fluid.

​

Outsiderness in this instance can be understood as those who feel marginalized based on race, gender, sexuality or disability. It equally applies to the alterity projected onto the more than human, matter and biomes.
