Autocartography

“Paper documents became both treasured and traumatic items in our lives. Through enmeshment in paper making, I aim to interrupt the harms of separation and extraction they suffered, harms that are also seen in the colonised experience and in the commodification of the natural world” “Sometimes I plant seeds in the papers. Sometimes I draw on them. Subconscious, surrealist automatic drawings. They look like maps and mycelium. I’m world-making. Drawing connections beyond the patrilineage of a family tree, including the kinship of the natural world, too.”
