This work is practice-based research creation informed by critical media studies, non-representational theory and embodied geographies. My artistic work experiments with effects of a medium on my emplaced material relations, allowing me to consider media geography as a situated process of becoming-with an environment.

Below you’ll find multimodal experiments made in collaboration with the Colorado river of Texas, which runs through the center of my field site, Austin. These works emerge from a situated and submerged practice of place-based mediations, developed alongside research exploring Austin’s hybrid ecologies as sites where the spatiotemporal ideologies of technocapitalism materialize.

These pieces are each grounded in the materiality of the river with different degrees of reverence, speculation, swimmer’s ear, and sog. Through a range of analog and digital media, I push my encounters with the river into new sensorial and temporal registers, enacting practices that foster collaborative meditations from within an immersion.
