Bio

I am an artist-filmmaker and practice-based PhD researcher at Kingston School of Art, currently working with theories of nonhuman worlds, eco-poetics, and biosemiotics in the context of contemporary artists’ moving image. My research interests include ecology, animals, posthumanism, and emerging materialisms. My work centres on how images – still, moving, and in-between – might form the basis on which new kinds of thought can develop. I use lens-based technology, remote sensing, coding, textiles, printmaking, writing, 3D models and machine learning to consider the range, reality and exigencies of images in the formation of ecological thought.

I have screened and exhibited my work widely, including at the Oberhausen Short Film Festival, Brighton Centre for Contemporary Art, Ugly Duck in Bermondsey, the Istanbul Experimental Film Festival, Experiments in Cinema, Filet Gallery, the Stanley Picker Gallery, and the ICA in London. I have written, published, and given conference papers and seminars on Agnès Varda, Béla Tarr, Isiah Medina, thylacine de-extinction, essay filmmaking, and nonhuman worlds.
