Education
MA Art and Science (Distinction)Central Saint Martins (UAL)
- London, United Kingdom
I am an artist and researcher exploring nature futures. I uses participatory research, fiction, materials experimentation and thinking-through-making as methods to encourage new dialogues around our relationship with more-than-human nature; to imagine ecologies (with or without humans) and to future gaze on the planetary now. I run ELASTIC NATURE an open, interdisciplinary art research club.
Recently I have: explored art x climate change on residency in Goa; was awarded the TENSION Gallery prize and exhibited 'Life.Formed' in London; contemplated the synergies between microbial life and our cosmic origins and been featured as one of 25 thinkers in WIRED co-founder Jane Metcalfe's book NEO.LIFE.
