Lengths of Time (2024)

Lengths of Time is a body of visual artworks and an accompanying artist essay that examine the colonial, capitalist conflation of the feminine with nature, interrogating the symbolic and material slippages that sustain systems of extraction, domination, and control. The work considers how gendered constructions of time, water, and land underpin cycles of exploitation and resistance. Through the dismantling of historic industrial timekeeping systems, its measure of time contingent on the movement of water, it traces the intimate connections between natural forces, industrial systems, and the body. In doing so, it attends to both historic resistance to these controls and their continued operation, where extraction persists across bodies and environments.
