My research is concerned with expanding understandings of (In)fertility beyond the medical. Linking language and corporeality, it explores embodied affective experiences that occur through contemporary im/material online and digital encounters of infertility, to reveal emotional invisible stories and silent conversations. It draws on feminist notions of affectivity in “becoming” maternal within these self-care labours, queering time (its diseased chronicity), and fertile identities, though alternative embodied subjectivities. This mobilises the sensory through making with performative photography, data/text visualisation, and participatory bio-art methods, to investigate a narrative of creative care within Art & Health, building on historical feminist practice around lived experience.
