My mission is to invite you to "re-view" your environment – to take a second look at it. I create visual stories (fabulas) about the ecology, nature and culture of a place through exploring  mortality and love. This love might be for the loss of a human being, a mycelium network, or a felled tree. Everything living is destined to die, but on what timescale? An oak might live for a millennium, a human a century, an insect for a few days – yet they all coexist in the same space and immediate moment of interconnected reality.

 

Whilst being raised in a culture embracing western literary narratives, my practice is inspired by First Nation  approaches to fabulas – ones that are cyclical, speculative and rooted in giving voice to the voice-less.

 

So, what's the time-line for this speculative narrative? The Anthropocene asks us to think chronologically – moving from beginning to end, but these visual fables might start in any part of time – jumping back and forth within  a chain of events. Sometimes the artwork invites the viewer/participant  to determine this themselves.
