I’m interested in the myth that language is an adequate system to describe the nuance of our experience of the world. I use painting, writing, film, assemblage, sound and performance to represent conversations between the extremes of selfhood: such as life and death, light and shadow, seen and unseen, known and unknown. I create for/in non-traditional spaces and focus on responsive performances in dialogue to both the history of the site and the immediate landscape, incorporating a broad range of media, and often engaging all the senses.
