My practice explores the complex entanglements between industrialisation and nature, with a particular focus on earth sciences and the ways in which manufacturing often mimics planetary processes. Central to my research is the concept of terraforming, which I use to examine how human activity is re-engineering the Earth, particularly in the context of the Anthropocene.
Working through material science and experimental processes, I engage with methods that range from developing manufacturing techniques for lava, to shaping metals with explosives, and building machines that reconstruct or erode sedimentary rock. These gestures aim to surface the latent narratives and metaphors embedded in materials, and to question how we interact with them and how they, in turn, shape us.
Each project is site-specific, drawing from the history and geology of place to ground the materials and processes within a broader environmental and cultural context.
