Landslide - Decolonial Praxis
Ongoing Research Project
Mud is earth, it is clay, it is pigment, it is structural and fluid. It is a binding agent, a vocabulary of color, a vessel of memory, and a facilitator of form across time and geography. This project is a place-based, research-driven exploration of form, place, and memory through the universal material of mud. The clay used in this project was taken from a monumental natural disaster that reshaped the land and community. To understand the experience, materials collected during this time are being used as research tools. Mud will be fused with other elements like thread, fire, water, and the moon in an attempt to find a common language between the ephemeral and the functional—utilizing themes of transition, decomposition, decolonisation, and belonging.
