My practice spans primarily across installation, sculpture and textiles, often along with computational, sensory components. Crucial in my work is an ongoing exploration of the possibilities of self-sufficiency and alternative world building through cooperation with biological networks and methods of practical/impractical technofeminist tool-making.

By looking at phenomena such as survivalists and “preppers”, abandoned research stations, unidentified deep sea frequencies and the connection between mycelium and digital data distribution, my practice takes a speculative approach to the idea of the apocalypse, linking “the end” to utopian politics, ecology and collectivity.
