ItemNo Preview AvailableHow Historic Injustice Towards Bald Cypress Trees Contributed to Coastal Vulnerability In The Mississippi River Delta(American Society for Environmental History, 2022 Conference, 2022)In this study we build on recent scholarship which links injustice and vulnerability and extend these framings to the nonhuman world. We examine the environmental history of the lower Mississippi River Delta in relation to the life history of a central nonhuman character – the bald cypress tree (Taxodium distichum). Through this history we identify instances of injustice against bald cypress trees and highlight overlapping injustices with human communities. Our work shows connections between these injustices and link them to the impact on coastal vulnerability. These findings support a design framing which operates from the premise that diminishing justice leads to diminishing resilience. Consequently, we suggest that approaches to design for coastal resilience must seek to ensure just outcomes for humans and nonhumans.

ItemNo Preview AvailableGhost of Grainger(Grainger Museum Melbourne, 2022)Sounding Grainger is a creative sonic and visual exploration of the Grainger Museum at the University of Melbourne. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration that brings together a composer and an architect, this project reimagines the foundational bricks-and-mortar of the eponymous founder Percy Grainger’s legacy. Composer Sydney Miller, current Bachelor of Music (Interactive Composition) Honours student, has created a multi-channel soundscape which responds to the resonances of the physical architecture itself. A unique 3-d multi-screen visualisation of the architecture, created by Dr Rochus Hinkel, Associate Professor at the Melbourne School of Design, uses static, dynamic and animated point clouds. The triptych re-imagines the atmospheric and spatial readings of the museum, its interiors and its urban context. The sonic and visual installations recalibrate the Grainger Museum, creating a unique immersive and temporal experience of sonic and visual re-compositions of the architecture of the Grainger Museum.

ItemStrange Anatomy(The Heong Gallery, Downing College, Cambridge, UK, 2022)Strange Anatomy is part of a series that explores gender, space, and the body. A spatial, 3D processing of the body’s occupation of space, the organic and sinuous form is a deliberately ambiguous construct. Hip? Spine? Viscera? The smooth form morphs, and twists – an act of subversion. Inspired by the Puebloan ceramic artworks of Maria Martinez, and by the works of Moore and Hepworth, my work begins first as a 3D computer model, where I am able to manipulate and distort the forms. From ephemeral to solid - this mode of working stems from my architectural praxis, enabling me to examine gender and space within the digital sphere, and then translate that through the medium of bronze. Whilst I work in bronze, the smooth finish and patinas that I use are intended to create a material ambiguity and invite the viewer to touch and explore the works.
