I am 

a multidisciplinary artist working in installation, video, performance, painting and participatory experiences

&

a writer of poetry, short fiction and experimental essays.


My practice considers how forces of transformation and entanglement continuously redefine the systems and spaces we inhabit. Through themes of cooperation, adaptation and the complexity of non-linear processes, my work highlights the reciprocal forces that shape and are shaped by interactions between human and non-human bodies.

I am particularly drawn to the transformative moments of convergence within these interactions, in which materials stretch or crumble, conversations overlap and collide, and perception shifts under the weight of repetition or chaos. Across my varied mediums and subject matter, I see the central purpose of my work as unearthing poetry from the slippery spaces where things meet, merge, clash and then, as with everything, keep moving on.

Also, I’m funny. Most of my work is funny.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch! I am always open to new opportunities and collaborations.
