At the centre of their practice is a curiosity with what searching for kinship might demonstrate; longing, an absence or lack of intimacy, a quest for reappraisal or desire for connection with ourselves and community. 

Their practice is an on-going process of finding ways to articulate these speculative/concrete relations with living and non-living beings, materials, histories and cultural narratives, particularly those found in archive and library spaces.

This work finds shape through activities including writing, performance-lectures, librarianship, video, sculpture, reading groups, screenings and publications.
