Artist Personal Statement

My work operates in the spaces created between performance, film and drawing in a constant, cyclical and creative process. As part of an overreaching desire to probe the mechanisms of personal and public relationships, I create feature films, spontaneous performances, theatrical plays, costumes, site-specific works and drawings. The spaces of flux between artworks and the act of translation from one media to another are important to my practice, nurturing a space of spontaneity. From these slippages and unresolved moments that mix history, fiction and the internal the art comes into being. Through my practice, I seek to complicate and confuse rather than answer or resolve, to open up avenues for exploration through making and doing: magic through physicality.
