All That I Touch I Change

All That I Touch I Change (2026) is a 6:36 minute-long, looped performance film which reimagines the site of the Pitch Lake as a sentient, shape-shifting being. This work explores the history of this site, including its origins and the history of extraction for the purposes of fuelling colonial expansion and building the British empire. Through performance that takes place between Trinidad & Tobago and London, archival footage and footage of the site, this work depicts narratives of grief and loss experienced by the Pitch Lake through ongoing extraction and explores its own agency and power as an ancient and resilient site.
