I have been developing my artistic practice in relation to queer and feminist science studies, speculative-fiction and performance. The practice enfolds fiction, poetry and movement scores along with scent extraction, fermentation and sound(ing) as methods of relating to place, time and intimate intra-action. The event at c.off is one manifestation of an ongoing practice and research, a moment for something to be made visible. In preparing for the presentation I have been focusing on developing my knowledge and skills in making sound, and on the relationship between my writing practice and my performance practice. Webs of community and making spaces for meeting are also important elements of my ongoing practice and its presentation. This has included actively engaging with other artists whose work with intimate intra-actions spark curiosity and excitement in me.

Literary references include Audre Lorde’s notion of ‘the erotic’; Donna Haraway’s writings on the tentacular entanglements and response-ability of living and dying well together in the Chthulucene; Ursula K. Le Guin’s Carrier Bag of Fiction theory; and the Lilith’s Brood trilogy by Octavia E. Butler.

I am collaborating with Siriol Joyner on sound design. The presentation of my work takes place in a shared event with Amanda Billberg. There will be beetroot soup. And fermentation. Not in the same bowl.
