My work harbours from a place of belonging, coming from a region with perceived layers of physical and emotional sensitivity. I navigate through the fringes of this space with a tenderness in my methodology. The passive role of the performer is evident within the process of making, the role of the body works within the parameters of the representation of one’s sense of self. The aspect of collaboration and intervention nurtures within my practice, working in conjunction with likeminded creatives contributes to an organic relationship of reflection and reaction.
