Live performance, video and installation present my personal experiences lived working class identity. The culture clash between my background and my artistic practice sits in the disjointed narratives within my work. I pursue the theatricality in the everyday whilst sharing fragments of autobiography, observations on people, history and site.
The frequent use of drag in my work opens up a dialogue about the history of the drag king in contemporary performance, as well as facilitates the exploration of my gender identity.

I have made work which focuses on Cliff Richard’s 1996 portrayal of Wuthering Heights’ ‘Heathcliff’; Butlins redcoats/ knobbly knees and performance art; the history of the Principal boy in Pantomime; psychics; Take a Break Magazine; medicinal leeches; regression and a cat who killed someone in a past life.

Theatre flats and the DIY aesthetic of amateur dramatics articulate the materiality of these themes.
