Resounding body ecologies

Resounding body ecologies is an ongoing practice-based research project that engages with geographies that are human, environmental, technological and architectural, considering them as dialogic forms of entanglement and reciprocity. The concept of ‘ecologies’ used here is a way to describe the relational infrastructures that inform our frameworks for shared inhabitation; and ‘geographies’ refers to the physical realities that inform these infrastructures.

This research project encompasses past, present and future works, as it has become apparent that working through context is preferential for me, allowing my own bodily movement (walking, breathing, dancing, laughing, crying, speaking, resting) to remain in active conversation with the geographical bodies I am supported by.

On this page, I have collated some of the works that contribute to my research that collectively form a project that is bigger than me and always in collaboration with other bodies.

This is not an institutional project (not funded) but an interdependent undertaking through the body of an experimental somatic, sonic and time-based artist. At the time of creating this page, I am choosing to live somewhat nomadically, for as long as is possible. Considering livelihood as a more fluid system of exchange instead of a hierarchical one. Where currency has the possibility to change and dialogue takes precedence. It is, of course, not so simple. But this act itself is inherently part of the research and informs the nature of ‘practice’ that I refer to.

As I write this, I am wondering, is this a blog?
