I am trying to understand the prevailing ontological horizon [i], and to develop a critical relation to the practices and thought-forms which maintain that order of being. I want to try and move beyond identity politics and fixed subject/object modes of relation, to locate alternative places from which to think about the world and its conditions.

My current work stages a liminal zone of undecidability between the human and the non-human, engaging what Jane Bennett calls 'the mediating screens of subjectivity, cultural formations and perceptual biases.[ii]' By attempting to think at the limits of the human, I am setting out to test the weakness of the ‘metaphysics of subjectivity’ where the designation of subject is reserved exclusively for (some) humans.

Informed by Adorno’s non-identity thinking [iii] what I am trying to locate in my thought and through my work arises from the idea of a third position, a field - not a spatial register through which things move, but an active constituent of all exchanges, all communications, all assemblages in the Deleuzian sense of that term.

My work encompasses a range of media and methods.
