WHO AM I ?

I am interested in the participants relationship with production and outcome. Through site specific work, interventions and workshops, I explore this interest using materials such as paper, whiteboard and tape for participants to engage with to reveal new insights or ideas in the form of drawings, sculptures, and live performances. 

My role within this process varies depending on the project, acting as a facilitator, observer or active participant. Operating in this manner allows to explore curiosity through a trans-disciplinary lens rather than fixing my practice to a specific medium or discipline. 


I use this open field of enquiry to deliver workshops and consultation to a range of industries including Education, Fashion Design and everything in-between.

Education

 

2023     MA by Research, Expanding artistic-pedagogic mark-making: thinking creatively with reusable 3D surfaces, Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University
Researched and practiced the flow of idea exploration and active participation in relation to chalkboards and whiteboards. It considered how reusable mark-making surfaces might be reclaimed and repurposed as spaces for radical thought and action, in contrast to their former conventional use in business and educational institutions.
