About

My work is closely connected with place and history. Through performance and film, I conduct playful interventions, opening up new dialogues with familiar material or forgotten landmarks.

I have long been interested in social history and increasingly obsolete and redundant forms of communication – the concrete Sound Mirrors that once safeguarded the Kent Coast, found postcards evoking nostalgia for seemingly ordinary places or the enigmatic language of BBC Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast. My work seeks to reanimate these neglected monuments, recreate these ephemeral moments, to form new narratives and associations.

I am fascinated with the rapport between performance and photography, and how the still frame can be used to stage a re-encountering of the familiar. Photography empowers the most fleeting of moments, to create an illusion of weight and permanence, rendering the most familiar everyday objects into incongruous monolithic architecture.

A graduate from the Royal College of Art, London, I continue my own practise alongside being employed as a freelance Artist Educator and Lecturer.
