My work somatically disrupts the habitual ways in which bodies engage with their environment, challenging the artificial divide between self and nature. This exploration began with my movement art practice, which cultivates ecological awareness through movement, and has since evolved into a multidisciplinary approach. This includes a six-year durational project on Hackney Marshes, culminating in a four-screen installation and the book How to Be Feral: Movement Practices to Rewild Your Body.
I am now extending this inquiry into drawing, painting, plant dyeing, sculpture, and curatorial practices with the intent to encourage viewers to ‘see with their whole body,’ rather than merely with their eyes. My work seeks to radically transform and awaken our repressed bodies from social and cultural constraints, aiming to rekindle the instinctual, visceral wisdom of the body and its ecologically attuned ways of sensing the spaces we inhabit.
