BIO 



My artistic practice explores coastal ecologies and interspecies relations through moving image, performance, and experimental analogue processes. Working in wetlands, tidal landscapes and other liminal living territories, I collaborate with environmental conditions, organisms, and scientists to develop films, installations, books and performances that reflect on adaptation, loss and transformation. 

I approach making as a relational process shaped by material agency, chance, and collaboration. Through analogue film processes, field recordings, and hand-built instruments, I develop embodied methods in which the haptic, sonic, and environmental conditions of a place actively shape the work. Images and sounds emerge through encounters with specific sites, organisms, and materials.

Moving between scientific observation and poetic speculation, I create immersive situations that invite audiences to slow down and reconsider their position within ecological systems marked by vulnerability and change.
