With Pulp, 2020
With Pulp is a body of work informed by queer ecology, a theory that considers environmental studies and queer theory to be deeply interconnected as both deal with intimacies between living beings. Queer ecology works to break down binaries, questioning human preconceptions and generalizations of the natural and unnatural world, the human and non-human. With Pulp engages with these ideas and considers harmony with nature as a form of care in the wake of trauma by performing cycles of destruction and regrowth.
time capsule: watching the world carefully take itself apart that choice you made the sound of something ripping a terribly small thing rolling around behind me a fraying edge in an inconvenient place
when i was 9 i watched this tv documentary about rare illnesses and the reality of ill-ness and death made me so panicked that i began to vomit. then i brushed my teeth and went to the grocery store with my mom
