Through an engaged, iterative process of mapping, collecting, musing, and remapping, my practice seeks to question and reframe how relational space interacts with physical space, drawing upon the experiences of both human and non-human entities.
By using the method and guise of this ‘mapping’, my practice encompasses a personal process of searching for and documenting such spaces in which these entities messily intersect and entangle, and where reflections are cast. Finding and containing bodies within these landscapes that often propose contradictory understandings of my own place within these larger systems, and exploring how we can thoughtfully navigate our role in both supporting and transforming non-human environments. My work grapples 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.
