I am a queer artist, writer, family constellations practitioner and facilitator, tending to the re-membrance of embodied knowing, and listening to land and its relations. I work across performance, textile, sound, film and writing.
I believe humans and land belong together, and that land guides all processes of healing, transformative justice, and ancestral work. I’m particularly connected to rivers, their ecologies and their flow of life. I make artwork from this place, as well as guide ceremony and group processes to ask how the land guides and gives rise to abolitionist futures.
My work/life/art is propelled by this obligation to land and ancestors, and a desire to listen to the collective field and what it asks of us in order to shift from moral carceral logics, to an emergent ethics and politics (a cosmopolitics) guided by land and its relations. This formed the body of my practice-based PhD - (“River Stone Ceremony; A Material Poet(h)ics of Human, Nonhuman Witnessing” 2020), - and I now share this approach in workshops and group learning contexts.
I’m currently working on TWO RIVERS - a land spirit school, combining practices of belonging, soul-work, spiritual ecology, a politics of listening to the field and systemic justice, permaculture and decolonial land practices.
I’ve made choreographic/performance work for The Yard Theatre, Steakhouse Live, Martin Gropius Bau, Kule Berlin, SPILL Festival; and performed at Tate Modern, Hayward Gallery, Kunstfestival Hamburg, amongst others. I am member of Decolonising Botany, initiated by Youngsook Choi and Taey Iohe. My nonfiction, poetry writing has been widely published.
