Working in-between

My social art practice sits at the intersection of art, ecology and social inquiry. It is multi-disciplinary, rooted in eco-social concerns and action research.

Drawing from the concept of social sculpture, I focus on everyday ‘materials’ and experiences in the liminal spaces of human understanding. My work invites people into creative, participatory processes that question dominant, rational linear ways of knowing - opening instead to more intuitive, relational and embodied forms of insight.

Rooted in systems thinking, deep ecology and arts-based inquiry, the practice invites participants to explore how we come to know through relational connection (‘warm data’) - with each other, the more-than-human world and the inner self. Using methods such as dialogue, storytelling, performance, walking, and listening, foregrounding art as a catalyst for personal insight, collective reflection and regenerative social transformation - set in the context of metacrisis.
