Through an engaged, iterative process of mapping, collecting, musing, and remapping, my practice explores the messy borders and intersections between human activity and more-than-human landscape.

This is a personal process – by using the method and guise of this ‘mapping’, I seek and document hinterlands in which these human and more-than-human entities messily intersect and entangle, and where reflections are cast.

I collect, reuse, and layer imagery and text from time spent on site in these porous spaces to arrive at what I consider windows, in which human framing controls and quietly directs the viewer and their perception. I am intrigued by the invisible human control – that I myself am part of – of our more-than-human landscapes, and how, as an individual, I can come to terms with this irrevocable presence of the human hand. In trying to contain the more-than-human in my attempt to understand beings that cannot traditionally speak back, I must also recognise that my practice is an extension of that control.

By finding and containing bodies within these landscapes that often propose contradictory understandings of my own place within these larger systems, I question how we can thoughtfully navigate our role in both supporting and transforming non-human environments. My work engages with the inherent tensions in how we shape and are shaped by our environment, finding and layering both conversation and contention within invisible frameworks of human control.
