Master's thesis of Fine Arts: Life-extending breadcrumbs: facilitating morphosis and collaborative sculptural practice through posthuman ethics

This practice-led research project considers human agency in relation to matter and materialism. Seeking to unlearn human assertions of agency as dominant, this project fosters relational and collaborative exchanges with matter that manifest as installations and sculptural interventions. Informed by new materialist and posthuman frameworks, it recognises that material hierarchies are held in place by what we choose to prioritise in human worlds. This is practiced through open and responsive sculptural installations which form in relation to Other matter in order to speak with, think with, learn and unlearn, rather than overwrite the emergence of other agential capacities.
