Worlding with Materials | 2025 – Ongoing
My practice works across two interconnected strands, both rooted in the understanding that materials are active collaborators rather than passive matter — that knowledge emerges through working alongside them, not by directing them.
The first strand investigates how fabric, water and body interact to produce emergent forms and compositions in constant transformation. Each element shapes and responds to the others, generating gestures, textures and states that cannot be predetermined.
The second strand, Worlding Studies, is a practice of automatic drawing and painting made in collaboration with materials, my internal world, and my ongoing reading of new materialist and post-human theory. These works develop in dialogue with the thinking of Karen Barad, Donna Haraway and Jane Bennett — the understanding that matter is active, relational and entangled with the humans who work alongside it.
Together these strands form a grounded inquiry into how we make and discover knowledge through and alongside matter, the more-than-human world, and the fluid boundaries between inner and outer experience.
