My work often synthesises the performative, it has many time-based aspects, often using accelerationist devices of exploitation of labour and machine capital, using workforces of birds, ants, cats, mycelium and humans in my installations. Recent biodegradable negative carbon emission mycelium-grown sculptures and installations have been developed from an interest in building materials, plastics and non-toxic outputs of art making, that also explore the art market and the luxury commodities and values that it produces.
Through a feminist dialogue, I explore the internet, data, labour, ecofeminism, identity politics and transposition of existing systems through conflict, representation and subversion. I paint portraits of men and the systems and architectures they create and live within. I am fascinated by social structures, the cultures produced by them, and what that means for the future of our world and the natural ecosystems around us.
