They make art and science that frame the world as a network of strange kin.

Their art explores mutability and adaptation through photography, poetry, and performance.

They unite these themes as co-director of the Institute of Queer Ecology, a continuously evolving collaborative organism that creates and commissions artworks as tools for building multispecies futures.
