Domestic Field Studies
In this series, objects of domestic labor and hunting tools are reimagined and assembled to explore how care, labor, and harm coexist in material culture. The work draws on early depictions of Mother Goose as a witch—one who rode a broom before she rode a goose—situating domestic tools within mythic histories of gendered labor, control, and flight.
These objects move between tool, trophy, and household artifact, carrying ethical and practical contradictions: instruments of care that are also technologies of capture. Sonic elements embedded within the works play field recordings of Canada geese interwoven with human laughter, animating the objects with layered voices even as they gesture toward containment. Through tension and contradiction, the work asks how domesticity, folklore, and violence are connected—and how we might listen within that entanglement.
