I’m an artist working with alternative forms of photography and sound, with a focus on sustainable methods of practice. My work explores the relationships between humans, other species, and the environment; investigating how sense of place is shaped through its specific combination of species and ecological conditions. This inquiry informs my practice as I consider the past, present, and future speculations for the joint homes of humans and the more-than-human. Through multiple methods I am researching different forms of co-creation with the more-than-human to create art that is inclusive of the inhabitants of the place. Materiality plays a central role in my process as I look to push experimentation with local resources developing place specific sustainable processes that inhabit and personify the environment in which the work was made.
Education is also an important part of my practice. I teach within the university environment as well as facilitating nature based creative sessions in the community. Through utilising plant based alternative photography such as anthotypes, phytograms, and less impact forms such as cyanotype and lumen I facilitate community sessions aimed at getting people closer and more informed to the green and blue places in which they live.
