I am a material orientated maker, working on the intersection of art, design and activism, exploring the correlation between industry, society and the environment. I am concerned with issues caused and upheld by agrilogistic and capitalistic systems, as such I am using sculpture as a means to convey certain values and alternative gateways to otherwise heart felt topics. My sculptures can be seen as material manifestos; unlike my theoretical work which discusses but does not create Anthropocene objects. Ultimately, I write, I form and I interact, with the primary focus to challenge the positions from which we think, communicate and work as human beings. I believe that art is an essential aspect of building resilient futures, as they challenge conventional science and values. Art pushes narratives because unlike scienti"c research, it is inclusive, playful and open to errors. A climate positiv future begins, not with capital or science, but with our collective ability to imagine what a climate positive world looks and operates like. Ultimately, which stories are being told and how they are framed - matters. The sculpture “My Happy Blue” is rooted in the idea that self care is a radical act, and explores how it can be employed in creative processes through the plasticity of clay and the healing properties of haptic perception; batteling Eco-anxiety by using principles of pleasure activism and play as tool for critical thinking. Timothy Morton says that being aware is synonymous with being depressed, so how do we stay hopeful in a place we don’t feel resilient? We interact. We become interconnected and we adapt. We play. Applied art pushes narratives because unlike scientific research, it is inclusive, playful and open to errors. “My Happy Blue” is a reminder to make space for our emotions, be curious about them and to seek the wisdom in them.
