As a contextual artist, my work is largely to listen to a place, a problem, a need or an idea, and to craft that information into an experience that is both enjoyable and useful. I choose materials, process, aesthetic and form to suit the context. I weave actions in connected technology, innovation and transport, with traditional theatre, writing and visual art practice. My training and background is in live performance, sculpture, data relationships, human behaviour, horror, connected devices and value exchange. They play together well.
The world is made of love and fear, and not always in the right place. I'm interested in that. I'm interested in cause and effect. I'm interested in what we think we see. I aim to make glancing work with long-term resonance; like the memory of a kind word, or the lasting shiveriness of a ghost story. Sometimes it's head stuff, sometimes heart, sometimes both. Always gut.
