"During my residency at Gunyah, I plan to explore and experience the plants of the area, to draw inspiration for my environmentally engaged practice. I will also research and develop my new short environmental film series, and continue work on my audio project Plant Kingdom, a series of conversations about plants and people who love them, which is released as a podcast."
