Project Description

Intuitive Interspecies Communication is a series of analogue collages exploring how images and materials can give form to intuitive impressions. Made with mixed papers on watercolour paper, the works bring disparate realities into contact, allowing unexpected relationships to emerge through their juxtaposition. Collage becomes a means of communicating thoughts through materials and attending to connections that are difficult to articulate in words.

The series developed during a period of intensive caregiving for two older relatives with complex and critical illnesses. Within this context, experimenting with paper offered a space for artistic inquiry alongside the demands of care. The works extend my interest in intuitive interspecies communication through a process in which fragments are brought together, rearranged, and understood in relation to one another.

Collage has long been part of my practice, opening gaps between familiar images in which other meanings become possible. Here, those gaps offer a way to consider communication across different forms of experience. The resulting compositions invite attention to the associations, sensations, and uncertainties that arise when seemingly separate worlds meet.
