I would say that my research over the last year or so for my current practice has been taking the forms of burrowings and foragings, and that’s not unlike how I usually approach interests of mine; special interests or SPINS as they’re sometimes called in autistic circles. It was listening to Katherine May’s podcast* where she spoke to Bayo Akomolafe, and hearing them speak of burrowing and foraging as metaphors for sharing ways to live brought to light that my research has taken these forms. It’s also enlightening for me as finding their wonderful conversation is an example of it. It’s a way of digging in, deepening the search, and unearthing the right pieces to form the connections, the patterns. The right thing seems to just come along and take your notice at just the right time.
