Hello!
I’m Lucy. I engage in philosophical reasoning, somatic enquiry, cultural studies and critical design to rethink human intra-actions with the rest of ecology, starting with the air we inhabit.
Making Air Personal and Political
Ultimately, the aim of my current research is to make air personal and political using mapping techniques. My master’s thesis compared artistic and scientific techniques for mapping the air we breathe.
Research Interests: breath, phenomenology, embodiment, multi-species storytelling, entanglement, atmosphere, new materialisms, sensory maps, first-person geographies, citizen-science, cultural climatology.
