Kristine White has a long standing history of working within the performing arts combining paper-cuts, shadow and video projections. In her art practise, she is interested in exploring themes such as queerness, ecology and land-based practises, communality and the essential nature of live, human-to-human and human-to-land interaction. Within her residency at SEA Foundation, White will delve into topics such as the kitsch aesthetics, body positivity, sensuality within nature, bio-eroticism, environmental degradation as related to disconnection from our bodies, among others topics.

As an artist often working in collaborative and performative projects, she aims to pay attention to reimagining her artistic practice within the exhibition context and lay a foundation for critical understanding of her artistic research.
