I am an artist and filmmaker whose practice encompasses moving image, sound, photography, projection and installation that focusses on experimental, poetic, expanded and hybrid modes of documentary and cinematic storytelling. Informed by my personal history and diverse cultural identity, I’m drawn to examine ways of being and knowing that exist outside, or challenge, dominator culture – often evolving over time through complex interrelationships – and the transformative potential of collaborative, participatory, experiential and ritual processes. My recent work explores alternatives to anthropocentrism through the syncretism of mythology, sensory perception, consciousness exploration, spiritual ecology and ethnobotany – the study of the relationship between humans and the vast vegetal world that sustains their existence. It is a multidimensional documentary portrait of the relationship between a psychoactive botanical garden; the reclusive, anonymous queer couple who grow and live within it; and the reciprocal wisdom that informs their harmonious co-existence. As part of an ongoing project that embodies collective mourning for the losses of the Anthropocene, while honouring the natural world through methods that illuminate its intelligence and agency, it is an invitation to slow down, observe, contemplate and develop our kinship with the ‘more-than-human’ life on Earth.
