My practice explores the intersection of human and non-human perception to examine how we share, co-produce and sense time and space. Employing materials such as light, sound, and data, I constructs devices, situations, and experimental set-ups within spatial and landscape settings. These set-ups often play the role of both observer and creator, providing renewed perspectives of dynamic situations and living systems, and the relationships create a dissonance that leads to unpredictable outcomes which test how physical movement, sensory engagement and the interaction of the body and brain influence our perception of our environment.
