​
My practice is a conversation, it starts, it ends, it evolves and changes. The words come and go, the rhythms speed up and slow down. The ending is uncertain, but the process is constant. 

Through conversation I make things that might be artworks, performances, publications, workshops, clothing, listening, nothing. Inspired by situations I find frustrating or peoples voices I want to champion. More often than not this is political, and focuses on marginalised peoples experiences. 

Recently I have become interested in centring care for others in my practice. This means I want to highlight the conversations that appear in my work. I will also start training to be a councillor which will create a way of supporting others within my work.

I have recently launched a podcast to make some conversations public. Alongside everything else I work for both artistic and political organisations..
