Evolving Topographies of Body and Terra: An Inter-media Drawing Practice
The shifting states that convoy growing life remind us of our ability to change and evolve on a larger scale. Like the journey through the birth canal, like the nature of the post-partum period, time is and isn’t. This project offers a visual and aural means to re-understand our contemporary eco-political position through the lens of the queer, internal, pregnant and post-partum bodily landscape alongside Earth’s ecology and geology. This amalgam enables attunement to matters of care, interdependence and responsibility.
The research is embodied in an inter-media drawing practice of digital, interactive environments, printmaking, sound and sculpture. The generative and speculative methods in inter-media drawing reveal a process of world-building that is synergetic with the multifarious realities of life and non-life on our planet. The practice reflects the pluralist approach needed to tackle Earth’s environmental and systemic poly-crisis.
