This work is a method of practice-based research creation in which I produce visual work in a modality informed by critical media studies, nonrepresentational theory and embodied geographies. My artistic work experiments with the way a medium affects 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. These works emerge from a situated and submerged practice of place-based mediations, developed alongside a writing project 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 contaminate, slow, and resist from within an immersion.
