Hi, my name’s Trent.
I make word art (poetry, essay, fiction, public speaking), media art, journalism, films and citizen science using trail cameras.
I love to share multi-species stories from the land.
I live on the unceded territories of the shíshálh Nation (Sechelt Nation) and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), also known as the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada. I was born and raised here, as a guest, to settler parents of mixed European ancestries, including Celtic, Germanic, and English.

I began my career in academia (BA UBC ’08; MSc Geography, London School of Economics ’09) with a masters dissertation researching environmental racism in BC forestry policy.
I spent the next decade-plus working in journalism, media and the arts in the UK (Channel 4, Box TV, The Beaver, FIASCO Magazine) and at CBC Music upon returning to Canada.
I have since focused my attention to media art, filmmaking (including upcoming short Nature Girl (2025)), documentary, citizen science, mycology, poetry, ethnoecology and jam-making.
You can find me frolicking in the rainforest with my friends, or strolling the streets and parks of the cities I love.
