In a time of climate change overwhelm and uncertainty, my practice-led research has responded to the call to find ways to contribute to and reframe this narrative through responsive, participatory co-creative projects with water. The research commenced in the High Arctic in 2017, the same year that Cyclone Debbie hit the Northern Rivers where I live and work. Inspired by Donna Haraway's methodology of sympoietic systems where we become-with, the research embodies a participatory and inclusive approach with humans and non-humans, in contrast to anthropocentric, self-forming, extractive, and self-sustaining systems so often found in humanity's engagement with the environment. Using water as a central material and metaphor, the interdisciplinary investigations include creating handmade paper from participants' clothing, water from site-specific sources, digital recording in all its forms, found objects and materials, and storytelling. These material-thinking practices examine ways to combine both handmade and technological methods to articulate and feel the essential, transformative, and interconnective role this heterogeneous liquid has across our planet. Sense-activating properties of time, light, touch, sound, and smell are central to the research, and are used to create unique personal environments defined as Umwelten by Jakob von Uexküll. The intention of the research is to examine how creative prompts for reflection might contribute to the discourse of our interconnected relationships with climate change. Each participant or viewer is invited to experience and feel through their senses as a way to reflect on our interconnected relationship with water beyond our immediate environment. Working with both human and more-than-human participants, the research was enriched by the discovery of Companion Thinking, an inclusive and non-hierarchical methodology. This active strategy encourages human participants to think-with and to reflect on personal responsibility, affect, and respect in the thinking, allowing the research to investigate the potential to motivate action and prompt reconnection and an ethics of care in our relationship with our planet of water.
