What else do you want us to know?

I am an artist and initiator strongly experimenting in curation. My practice is in constant flux of searching and finding its way. I am interested in memory, the large and small ways people influence each other and the workings of personal and social preconceptions. I use my body, everyday objects and sensory stimuli (especially smell and touch) as tools through which both performer and audience can interact to challenge and examine reality. I often ask you to do challenging things with and/or to me. Consenting or dissenting, you always have a choice.

My work has been presented to a variety of audiences from venues in London, festivals such as Fierce! Festival and Falmouth Live Art Festival, public guerrilla actions, commissions in response to gallery exhibitions, private performances for collectors and site-specific works.

Together with Justin Allen I run Switch Performance, an artist-led group based in the UK. In addition to our separate practices and duo work, we are passionate about collaborating with and supporting inspiring artists and their work in a wide-range of performance art practices.
