I am a graduate of the Ecology Futures Master’s program, researching ecological thinking within the alternative photographic practice and the application of constructed wetlands: a wastewater treatment method within the photographic darkroom. I follow transformative processes of wetland environments and analyse how they inform processes within the photographic darkroom and wet bodies and vice versa. I do not become remediated, or clean; instead, with every wade through shallow waters, I become digested. As wetlands seep through the ecosystems, it is not so clear where my water and your paddle begins and ends. I explore the digestive cycle of wet bodies and seek connection through the substances that flow in and out, bodily and discarded matter, and morphing growing cultures. I observe the layers that accumulate and through the process-based practice imagine what lies between them. I am interested in methods of attunement, care, transcorporeality and establishing relationships with more-than-human in the photographic darkroom and perhaps further in life too. @aytacrayta www.michaeladavidova.com
