I am an artist based in Rotterdam, working with sculpture, moving image and poetry. My approach combines fieldwork, participatory workshops, writing, conversations with scientists, collecting scrap metal and visits to archives.
Through frictions and connections, I feel out our disconnection from resource supply chains and the ensuing alienation, intimacies and violences caused by calculative infrastructures. Tending to material conditions, my sculptural works draw out the emotions and affects of scrap materials. My research is informed by feminist and decolonial responses to fieldwork, engaging with different sites and archives with reciprocity, collaboration and listening practices.
