I am interested in interspecies communication and response, and how senses fuel the imagination. My work is a mix of curiosity and endless not-knowing; of play and the serious. Insects, parasites, fungi, and plants—I wish to contribute to a broader recognition of creatures in all shapes and sizes, not just for their ecological importance, but also as lively, aware, and full of story, and for whom things matter.

There is strange beauty, meaning, and creativity propelled into new forms by parasitic interceptions. I view humans and nonhumans as lively people, and blend identities with a touch of absurdity, as we shift each other’s value and meaning. This is not about harmonious or monstrous cohabiting, but dynamic inbetween places—shadow places and tricksters that linger at the edges of awareness, yet ask of us to reconsider common values. Nature is not a backdrop to human life. There is a place for laughter and awe amidst the disgust. There is growth with the rot. A spark of imagination through an unexpected encounter. Small creatures are a lot more intelligent, sensitive, and flexible than usually given credit for. Entangled and often ironic, we must keep finding arrangements to live together.
