BIO

I am a UK based artist working primarily in performance for camera, video art, experimental filmmaking, installation, sculpture and stop-motion animation. My work embraces absurdism, magic realism and the surreal. ​​​​​​ I articulate the anxieties, restrictions and freedoms of the characters and personae within my short videos and sketches. They may find themselves in liminal spaces, digital landscapes, fantasy realms or the domestic and mundane.

My work draws from and references personal experience, literature, social history and contemporary culture. With regards political references, I am interested in propaganda and the ways in which communication methods affect us, shaping our reality and values. 

 

Often using fragmentation and metamorphosis of the body  with found objects and my surroundings, my work is very much concerned with the body as a site of experiencing and creating reality, and of embodying the imagination. My work seeks to blur the boundary between the imaginary and the real.

 

In 2024 I undertook workshops in performance art and puppetry.  I love the magical sense of life-force, spirit or 'being' transmitting between the puppet/object and the puppeteer.  This year, 2025, I will be training in somatic art® . I aim to further incorporate this into my own creative practice, along with object theatre and puppetry. ​​​​
