Imagining future worlds through sound, art & discovery.
I’m Kat ~ welcome to the ecosystem
Here I creating immersive, interdisciplinary work across sound, storytelling and emerging technologies to explore how humans connect with nature, place and each other.
Working at the intersection of culture, climate and neurodivergent thinking, my practice explores how imagination can become an infrastructure for change. I create sensory environments that invite feeling rather than observation, offering multiple ways in for different bodies, minds and ways of sensing.
In a time of polycrisis, I’m interested in how shared experiences can help us sense new possibilities - across brains, sectors and species.
Now go and explore, and if you want to grow something together, get in touch!
