A series of aerial vignettes using drones that survey and surveil the landscape. Referencing Michele De Certeau’s ideas on how pathways unsettle existing patterns and habits – mental, physical, and emotional – this work illustrates a spectrum of methods and potentialities on how pathways become meaningful or transformative as we breathe new life into them. This lens-based work brings the view up close, following a body meandering through an urban park, next to water passages along their journeys elsewhere,

A series of aerial vignettes using drones that survey and surveil the landscape. Referencing Michele De Certeau’s ideas on how pathways unsettle existing patterns and habits – mental, physical, and emotional – this work illustrates a spectrum of methods and potentialities on how pathways become meaningful or transformative as we breathe new life into them. This lens-based work brings the view up close, following a body meandering through an urban park, next to water passages along their journeys elsewhere,
investigating movement and unknown perspectives rarely seen or felt.
The video triptych invites viewers to consider a new spectrum of consciousness by witnessing a dance among a human form, an ever-changing species and the unseen collaborator flying above. Ultimately, this speculative artwork presents an improvisational layered account of discovery, interspecies mingling and reflection – revealing how bodies meld with objects to become other, suggesting how non-human city dwellers may perceive the interactions below, and how new physical geographies and potentialities of flight and levity with vibrant objects can carve space in urban landscapes.
