I am an artist and researcher, working with sculpture, moving image, archives and participatory workshops. My work asks how we can attune differently to our experiences of agency and proximity under colonial and ecological degradation. I consider image-making as a site of possible intimacy, and try to offer counter forms of value to the way material is treated in mining and commodity circulation under late capitalism.
My research instigates sensory and submerged fieldwork methods at sites of environmental violence and scientific apparatus, such as water engineering sites, weather towers, mines and factories. Through different cameras in filmmaking and metals or textile in sculpture, I explore what kinds of gathering and gaze might repair our relationship to materials and each other.
My recent project on aluminium and bauxite asks why we are drawn to shiny materials, and the evolution of ‘lustre’, the light of minerals in geology, as emerging from white people’s draw to weightlessness, domination and control.
I have facilitated workshops in Rotterdam and London at Turf Projects including collaborative filmmaking in the field, river ecologies and poetics. From 2023–2024, I was Researcher in the Fine Art department at Goldsmiths, University of London. I have programmed exhibitions on energy infrastructure such as ‘shadow circuits’, at MaMA in Rotterdam.
I work with sculpture, poetry and moving image to feel out our disconnection from resource supply chains, sites of infrastructure and each other. I draw on the elemental and rhythmic to attune differently to our experiences of agency, proximity and metabolism under late capitalism.
My research instigates fieldwork to sites of environmetental violence, sensing apparatus and infrastructure, such as water engineering sites, weather towers, mines and factories. I collect scrap materials and visit archives, asking how these methodologies can offer slanted knowledges and forms of material intimacy.
