My artistic research investigates the ecology of perception through practices and perspectives of eco-somatic embodiment. I approach the process of inquiry as a complex and rich interweaving between somatically-based improvisational movement and eco-phenomenological analysis. Research pathways evolve in/as critical and creative encounters between the felt sense of movement and its linguistic and audiovisual articulations.
