I am interested in engaging with material agency in a participatory and collaborative process. In my art practice I investigate how to observe and allow matter to perform its own existence, in its own rhythm and beyond rational meanings. I have incorporated a wide range of substances in my work including earth, stones, clay, glass, electronic waste, and plastic.
