My research examines the historical entanglements of labor, technology, ecology, and material culture within the global garment, textile, and footwear industries. Drawing on environmental and commodity history, visual and material culture studies, and political economy, I am interested in how industrial commodities and systems shape everyday life. My current project traces the transnational development and proliferation of synthetic fibers after the Second World War, with particular attention to the social and environmental relations embedded in their production, circulation, and consumption.
As a visual artist and designer, I extend these interests through work in textiles, furniture, collage, printmaking, and artist’s books, exploring questions of waste, materiality, and environmental transformation.
