I approach my practice as a social technology. This is embodied and performed at every scale of life to mediate experiences with collaborators and to provide situations to explore outside of conventional behaviours. In facilitating new environments and experiences, I seek to bring together ideas and collaborators who would not otherwise be together. This is in the hope to produce new possibilities for connection, disruption, healing, and queer futures. Often this process results in the production of dense sprawling moving-image works made up of collected footage, but can also take the form of digital sketchbooks, durational performances and audio.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
