About
My work resists the anthropocentric belief that places humans at the centre of existence, offering a reminder of our inherent interconnectedness and that by destroying Earth we are ultimately destroying ourselves. My work functions as a space for reconnection, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconsider their relationship to the natural world. Ecofeminist theory informs my practice, particularly in the belief that the exploitation of the environment and the oppression of women stem from the same patriarchal systems. I give up some agency to nature in my processes, working with homemade plant-based film developer and bioplastics on glass. These slow, low-impact processes embrace chance, failure, and material degradation as collaborators rather than flaws.
