Headlands Center for the Arts

Artist Statement

My work deals with ecology, poetry, sentience and narrative structures. I think of it as fragments of field recordings from the future, artefacts traveling backwards through time. A documentation of separate fictive events taking place in the same dimly lit world – perhaps one of multiplanetary (im)possibilites, ecological disaster, algorithms written by nature, weather watching, outside context problems, sorrow and cats. I try to understand the impact of humanity to the environment and the habitats of other species – and how we use language as a form of violence to construct our past and the future, on this and possible future planets.

While At Headlands

I plan to work on a hybrid visual arts and poetry project, focusing on more-than-human narratives and communication. Using the concept of home (habitat, ruin, path) as a starting point, I aim to build a fictive interdisciplinary catalogue of future beings and words, a documentation hopefully both fascinating and sad. I also hope to work with sound and the voice, in a new collaboration.
