Getting Impulses from Materials

Material Conversations

I work with contrasting materials that interact and interfere with each other, often in ways I can’t fully control. Their transformations become central to the narrative, embodying the inner lives of the characters they help bring to life. A soft fold, a tearing edge, the sway of a biodegradable thread in motion, all these moments shape emotion and meaning beyond language.
Guided by posthumanist thinking, I view materials as co-designers, They are agents with their own histories, behaviors, and a kind of quiet wisdom. They respond not just to my hands, but to the forces around us: light, air, moisture, time. In this way, each performance becomes a collaboration between human and non-human, a dialogue where both shape the outcome.
