THE OTHER SIDE

CURRENTLY BEING MAJORLY REVAMPED

Many people discover a love of nature as children, but I came to the natural world only in my late teens, and my sense of living in a textured, storied and beautiful world developed extremely gradually. I first became aware of the wonder of Earth by entering other worlds, such as those depicted in online roleplaying games and works of fantasy literature. Since then, I have been fascinated by the symbolism and dynamics inherent in openings and contrasts. More specifically, I have been consistently drawn to the idea of exposure to things beyond the given, helping us move towards a better understanding of our place on Earth. The more I thought about my outlook and interests, I realised that everything I care about can be associated with or linked to the phrase the other side, which has varied meanings depending on context, though all are Earth-centred in one way or another. Primarily, the other side serves as my name for (and way of describing) the more-than-human world with which we rarely come into contact. On this page, I have attempted to outline a loose roadmap for my outlook and my work, and to show how this confronts the main crises of an ecocidal modernity.
