Repetition tests the limits of materials. What appears to be one singular piece from afar develops several unique identities upon closer inspection. The details, in relation to eachother, amplify a sensorial experience created through an organic installation that can exist very differently depending on the space it is in.
Research of natural materials and the interaction between human and non-human forces informs a dialogue between humanity and its effect on our environment. By allowing the space itself to become part of the work, my work has been focused on creating its own ecosystem where the body is reintroduced to nature and its vital self-replicating systems.
About Viral Ecologies
This publication is a multipronged investigation of emergence. Emergence as the process of revelation after concealment. Emergence as small parts that give rise to complex patterns and systems. And emergence as the coalescence of new thought.
We open viral ecologies to create connections, transmit ideas, and to embrace the themes that emerge in each iteration.
As systems continue to shift beneath our feet, please explore the dynamic media created by this group of thinkers and makers.
viral ecologies is co-curated by collaborators E. Saffronia Downing and Rosemary Holliday Hall.
