Process

Jane is interested in finding fresh visual methods to approach scientific data of the natural world to interpret the experience of being in a non-human body through its senses.

For her PhD project, Jane questions Western human-centred concepts of nature through combining in-situ observation with drawing and macro photography to imagine an ant’s lived experience. Using digital photomontage, she explores methods for challenging the ‘scientific gaze’ that exerts power to claim objective truth through visualisation. Later in the project Jane plans to incorporate large scale and sound with photomontage to facilitate a deeper and more embodied experience of the more-than-human.
