Pleased to announce that my multispecies project, “Every Word Was Once an Animal," has been shortlisted for the Sadakichi Award for Experimental Work with Scent by the Institute of Art and Olfaction, Los Angeles. Judged by an international pool of curators, designers, theorists and artists, the project is one of five finalists for the award. 
Created in collaboration with scientists, the perfume, titled “Sceloporus,” is based on Western fence lizard scent pheromones. It is a surprisingly fresh, yet animalic perfume that blends with the wearer’s own skin chemistry to create a soft, sheer, more-than-human presence. 
The Art and Olfaction Awards event will take place in a public ceremony at Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, on May 2, 2019. Oude Kerk isa historic church founded in 1213, and the city’s oldest building, now one of Amsterdam’s most prestigious cultural centers.

Many thanks to perfumer Jessica Hannah and to lizard researcher Dr. Emilia Martins for their generous help with the project!
