Occasions of sharing work with others are a pleasure! You can listen to a narrative here, take in a talk on influences, or see pieces in exhibitions.
Invited Talks
Influences: A Czech Scientist, Coral Reefs
California College of the Arts
November 2023
In this talk—complemented by images and poems on the large screen—I explore unexpected influences on my creative and critical practices.
After an introduction by writer Caroline Goodwin, in the first half of this talk I focus on my work with poet and scientist Miroslav Holub.
In the second half of this talk, I turn to the ways I bring researched and experiential knowledge about coral reefs into my creative practices.
