My compost (ing) is an embodied artistic practice and methodology inspired by the concept of sympoiesis, or “making with” coined by Donna Haraway. Transforming Matter was a series of paired lumen prints of compost material, one was exhibited unfixed so decomposed throughout the exhibition and was fixed following its public decay.

My passion for compost stems from its power to transform, to evoke wonder and awe, and the potential it holds to generate energy, capture carbon, and create fertiliser.
