In Translation is a series which embodies an act of returning to the landscape. The work expresses the experience associated with wearing organic matter and how it creates genuinely raw and present moment with the body and the earth altering the mind. This project is an ongoing desire to immerse myself with the physical, spiritual and ethereal properties of the living world. Inserting my body into the landscape disrupts the boundary between myself and the natural world. Blurring the lines between various species and our associations with them to create symbiotic unity.
