what I pay attention to:
- the bio-geochemical cycles (water, nitrogen, phosphorous) that animate ecosystems and human experience
- reductionist dichotomies ( e.g. art / science, anthropology / ecology) that hide how complex, confusing and blurry reality typically is
- my neighbours, including a wide range of mammalian, avian, botanical, bacterial and fungal species
- the anticipation I feel when I lift up a rock to witness a soil world
- in-between states: interstitial, liminal, littoral
- microbial communication
- taking care of my body as a mother and precarious scholar-artist in the midst of late stage capitalism
how I pay attention:
- poetry
- autoethnography
- soil testing
- botanical pigment making
- guild level microbiome analysis (not genetic sequencing)
- spacial and temporal transects
- emergent, and improvisational methodologies
- surrealist oracle games
- calendar making
- singing to groups
- decolonial research methodologies
