I am an artist working across artistic research, writing, performance and facilitating spaces for co-learning and reflection. Through embodied and improvised methods that centre un-making and not doing, I am revisiting sites of knowledge formation, allowing ways of sitting-with*. 

​You might encounter a mound of kitchen flour; sit around a table sensing into physical changes of state; hear a polyphonic script performed, or handle a collection of symbolic found objects ("prophetic objects") arranged alongside drawings, photographs and writing. Or calligraphy tests with excerpts from found guidance. Or an embodied violin performance recalling learning methods, exercises and etudes. 

 

My process orientates around a series of "paradoxical objects", including the recurring figures of 'the mound' and 'the pool'. Each relates to different ideas of the singular and the collective whole.

​

Since 2018, I have worked at In-Situ, where my role is Internal Development and Reflective Practice. What I bring to this work is shaped by my practice and vice versa.

Here, alongside the administrative work of co-running a radical arts organisation, this practice finds its expression around exploring the organisation's "Fluid Structure", creating space to co-learn, dis-entangle, sit with the tangle and contemplate, as (self) reflective practice. 

<What is the shape of a shared space of possibility where we can (safely) be many things at once?

And what is the movement needed to co-exist equitably in these spaces?>

My practice is self-taught and initially developed out of motherhood as a creative context. My work is anchored by autistic experience and working through religious trauma, navigated through the post-industrial landscapes of the east coast where I grew up and the steep-sided valley where I currently live.
