I WANT TO WRITE TO YOU LIKE SOMEONE LEARNING parts I and II
2015 – 2018

I Want To Write To You Like Someone Learning parts I and II follow an autobiographical account of encounters with plants (Brugmansia Arborea and Mimosa Pudica) and landscapes positioned in constellation with multiple voices, bringing into question persisting embedded colonial perspectives, inherited languages used to present, represent and remember the botanical world, and the multiple cognitions and awarenesses (Whitehead - Hayles)unlocked through a process of learning and unlearning.
