Exploring the nature of the old internet, my interests in it, and the reasons I make artwork, I wanted to dwell in the mess of nostalgia as I looked towards future art practices for myself. How can I pick up the pieces of fantasy and forbidden knowledge found in digital archives and memories? How can I turn inwards and make my inner worlds tangible for others to see? As I think about my solitary forms of making and the points of connections between other people and places, I trace digital echoes and sit with the noisy machines that facilitate these conjunctions. I think about motion and making, and about what it means to me and the people who encounter it.

Accompanying Magical Lexicographical is a suite of objects ranging from artwork to found pieces collected over the years. As part of a reflection on my own practice and the slow accumulation of things to draw knowledge and power on, I present an altar encompassing objects that mean a myriad of things to me.
