Is matter animated? And can the human self deal with disenchantment?

I understand my practice as thinking through doing, I am looking closely at where the hard distinction between nature and culture has taken us. I work sculpturally, with ceramics, silicone, drawing, photography and text. Observing the destructive effects of the western cosmology based on the exceptionalism of certain humans, I explore our neglected animal identity and what we can learn from more-than-human life.
