Her practice spans areas of ethnography, art, co-design, curation, and education. She develops bodies of research and methodologies focussing on new systems, perspectives and ways of relating to material, resources and the environment. Delivering design-led, third party projects from Cornwall to Kuching, she\u2019s worked as a Project Manager and Community Director in the ongoing Palestine based cross-cultural collaboration Samak Bilab Bi Delo and been commissioned to develop research projects from Studio Rizoma (Sicily, 2020), LIPA festival (Makassar, 2020) and Narratives of Soil (Kuching, 2021) with architect Wendy Teo for the British Council to name a few. As well as being an active member of the United Matters collective she holds an MA in Material Futures from UAL Central Saint Martins.<br><br>She was first inspired by the accounts of Sicilian farmers on how deforestation and overuse have rendered the water cycle unpredictable. She collaborated with researchers in Ghana and Jersey to design the regenerative water recycling kitchen, <em>Aqua Dentro<\/em> (2021). This work on the displacement of water, its consumption and recycling, stemmed from a body of ethnographic research carried out in Sicily, highlighting the potential of design to affect human perception and in turn promote best practice. She accomplished this through international expert engagement and researching indigenous systems and technologies. She explored their potential for laying the foundations of advanced contemporary methodologies through the focus on challenging how we see water, how we understand it as a resource, how it moves through the land and is pulled into the cities, and how it is expected to be used and disposed of. The work challenged old inflexible and hierarchical systems and produced community projects providing strategic support, direction and navigation to achieve excellent, relevant and long-lasting outputs.<br><br>Since then she has been working on water-related projects within the government design team PolicyLab, collaborating on a rainwater harvesting system for the BlueCity Rainwater Hackathon (Rotterdam, 2022) and is currently in residence in Utrecht for <em>Gemene Grond: Water is what we make it<\/em> (Utrecht, 2022).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":946,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residence\/944"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residence"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/residence"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
