Artist statement:
I am a PhD artist/researcher at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL East, with an MA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths. My practice is rooted in situated inquiry within Hackney Marshes, where I explore multispecies relationships among people, plants, crows, rivers, and open-source technologies. Through deep observation and an embrace of complexity, I approach ecosystems as living networks I am embedded within.
My work engages both human and more-than-human communities; I facilitate public workshops in collage, poetry, and speculative storytelling, while developing ethical fieldwork protocols, such as non-extractive sensing. I document ecological change and multispecies encounters, generating both academic and artistic outcomes. My current research includes building resource constrained Machine Learning models trained on field data from the Crow communities along the banks of the River Lea as it flows through the Marshes. These works manifest as sensoria—spaces of encounter and transformation—designed to nurture ecological reciprocity and contribute to cultural shifts in response to environmental crisis.
