If learning requires sustained practice, so too does the reverse movement: unlearning. This is especially true when attempting to dismantle deeply entrenched habits of functioning within, and thinking about, our world. Practices of Unlearning operates as an artistic method of questioning dogmas, opening fissures in perceived reality, and disrupting an established world order built on the culture-nature dichotomy.
Rejecting the anthropocentric lens that places humans at the center of the universe, the work steps into the unknown to uncover alternative, coexisting worlds. The resulting pieces are hybrid assemblages of raw clay, 3D-printed elements, custom electronics, computer graphics, and spatial sound. Entangled together, these materials form strange, speculative ecosystems that consciously elude standard institutional categorization.
