Abstract

This project offers a visual and aural means to re-understand our contemporary eco-political position through the lens of the queer, internal, pregnant and post-partum bodily landscape alongside Earth’s ecology and geology. This amalgam enables attunement to matters of care, interdependence and responsibility. The research is embodied in an inter-media drawing practice of digital, interactive environments, printmaking, sound and sculpture. The methods in inter-media drawing reveal a process of world-building that is synergetic with the multifarious realities of life and non-life on our planet.
