Ferreira-Norman's work investigates phenomenological proposals on Geology, forwards socio-political commentary and takes frameworks from other disciplines such as Biomimicry, Stratigraphy, Microscopy and Linguistics.

 

The practice explores the relationship between surface and depth, the physical world and the immaterial, and uses actions and its debris as artistic methodology.

as well as the ergonomics and cognition of the artist's body as part of the artwork making.
