I look towards regenerative practices and alternative ways of living as a means of responding to environmental crises; whilst also deeply questioning what it means to be ‘self-sufficient’. How can we facilitate a deeper ecological questioning and reskilling that is spiritual, interdependent, healing and belonging?




My practice is rooted in everydayness, at the intersection between practicality and poetics. I explore everyday ephemeral and cyclical rhythms to inform and frame artistic exploration and inquiry. Through social practice, intimately imagining and catalysing regenerative systems that support collective resistance, healing, care, belonging and alternative ways of living.


Foraging, fermenting, growing, composting, cooking, and eating have been some of my modes of entry. I investigate these processes as living containers for various forms of research, connection and ‘skilling’ - with a view that engaging with temporal diversity holds and cultivates complex connections - bringing to light various threads of geopolitical, environmental, cultural and systemic entanglements. These cycles have previously led to offering workshops, gatherings and meals.
