I am a visual artist working across experimental performance, video and sound installation, collage, and writing. My live installations combine my body and digital media in unusual ways, creating a mysterious, sensual or comical atmosphere. I explore themes around the body and mind, life and death, blending the personal with the cosmological.

The work I am exploring during the Take Me Somewhere Residency is both sensorial and conceptual. I’m looking at mental states, specifically the relationship between abjection and joy. I am interested in the embodied mind; the relationship between flesh and concepts. Both lived experience and research contribute to my explorations of mind and body. I want to explore how joy and the enjoyment of the senses can be an act of resistance against the violence of our times. An important part of the residency will be a collaborative conversation between myself and the unusual musician, sound designer and composer for theatre and performance, Neil Simpson.
