You, Me, the lichen & Spore
You, Me, the Lichen, & Spore is an interactive, community-engaged ecological art installation and research-creation project that integrates citizen science, artificial intelligence (AI), and poetic storytelling to visualize local ecological narratives and future climate scenarios inspired by the growth patterns of lichens. Part of the MUTEK AI Ecologies Residency April - August 2025

Saccharosonics
SaccharoSonics is a concept for an interactive sound installation, a sound performance and a workshop series that explores the metabolic processes of human and microbial cultures through amplified sound. The central concept of SaccharoSonics is to make the invisible audible—to bring people into a sensory relationship with the microbial worlds that shape and sustain us. By amplifying the subtle sounds of fermentation and human digestion, the project creates an immersive biosoundscape that invites audiences to listen differently: not just with their ears, but with a sense of attunement to interconnection, interdependence, and transformation. This work explores how artistic engagement with microbial sound can cultivate a deeper awareness of our entanglement with nonhuman life, challenging the boundaries of who and what we consider to be part of our communities of care. In doing so, SaccharoSonics opens up space for creative and ethical reflection on our shared metabolism, our responsibilities to more-than-human others, and the possibility of cultivating multi-species solidarity through sound.
This project was envisioned during a virtual artist residency at Plexus Projects, New York, US and will be produced and exhibited in 2026
Soundstrata
Soundstrata celebrates the auditory dimensions of place and explores how to create deeper connections between inhabitants, ecology, and communal space. By integrating sound art and public space design, SoundStrata is rooted in experimentation and collaboration towards inclusive placemaking.
The SoundStrata emerged from an artist bursary program (October 2024 - October 2025) with a landscape architecture and urban planning firm O2 Planning + Design, Calgary, AB. O2 requested that I respond artistically to their ongoing work with the City of Edmonton in developing a long term strategy that connects and enhances the city's urban parks and natural areas, titled “Breathe: Green Network Strategy". For my artistic response, I decided to explore how sound could be used to create an artistically engaged research process. The mentorship provides invaluable insights into interdisciplinary and co-creative design as well as the potential to explore how art-based research could add vibrancy to community spaces. The ongoing fieldwork will consist of a series of sound walks recorded at three different green space regions in Edmonton, AB.
Apothecycle
A roaming scent-apothecary on wheels offers unlabeled local aromas to stir memory and dialogue. Participants may receive a limited-edition scent token—infused, engraved, and ephemeral. Worn or gifted, each token becomes a lingering thread of connection: a tiny, fragrant archive of something half-remembered, half-imagined. Performed for the Works Festival, Edmonton in June-July 2025
