My practice is grounded in the land. It asks, what does it feel like to belong in nature or to understand oneself as nature? And, how can the arts help to strengthen our sense of inter-being with the more-than-human world?

Explored through ‘wild drawing’ - plein-air, experimental mark-making that is often the genesis of new paintings - and through my adoption of the philosophy of ‘embodied ecology’ as a studio practice, my work has become a process of reconsidering the human body as humus - organic, fluid and porous. This practice is my wondering at what transformations might be catalyzed through the adoption of eco-centric rather than ego-centric perspectives.

Whether public art or paintings, my work celebrates diversity in all its myriad forms as much as it recoils from binaries and othering. I am intrigued by the concept of dis-integration as a portal to re-integration; unravelling the euro-patriarchal systems that disconnect us from one another and nature.

Most recently, my practice integrates mediums such as dance, music, masquerade, painting and textiles, while referencing different human-nature concepts found across global mythologies, indigenous knowledge and Western science. The intention is to express more expansive, dynamic and sensuous understandings of community and belonging.
