Art for me is a sort of creative logic system, or a way of thinking and working things out. It can be private, but it can also be about engaging in a community or space and exploring what can happen within those parameters (such as finding what resonates within others, within a space, within myself, and seeking out how we might share that with each other).
I am a 27 year old installation artist interested in mixing media and moods as a form of audio-visual intervention. My practice is grounded in my experiences with ADHD and gender non-conformity, where I play with both unfinished thoughts and research rabbit holes to produce works that may be tonally ambivalent or seemingly 'incomplete.’
I am also an active arts worker, with a particular interest in facilitation work and public programs. I believe that arts and culture is much bigger than what happens within a gallery, and I always strive to produce programs, workshops and events that have an accessible entry point.
