I make work about ecology that is speculative and embodied. I am interested in how art can activate an ecological way of thinking where intimate narratives seep through complex entanglements and unimaginable timescales. Spanning video, sculpture, ceramics, and installation, I am interested in the agency of materials and their potential as witnesses; full of history, story, warning, and hope. My current research delves into the toxic features of the nuclear age and the persistent hauntings of militarized ecologies. The shifting lens of the Nuclear, is a fascinating case study to examine power, persuasion and the human imagination especially in our current climate crisis. Water flows through all my work, it carries the poetics and politics of this miraculous substance that supports all life on the planet Earth. I am currently residing in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal), on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà.
