Razielle has been in writing residencies at several international art centres, including the Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity; and gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts for a grant to conduct creative research on the topics of the epic poem, identity politics, and eco-poetics.  

Her aesthetic, inspired by the beauty of natural organisms, is an eco-poetics through which she explores themes of structure and formlessness, alongside the complexity of personal vs. interpersonal identity formation in the advent of infinite access to unlimited information.

​In a convergence of multiple mediums, she seeks to create with an all-inclusive, expansive poetics in mind.
