 Art is language, a tool to inspire questioning. 

Questions. 

A project is born through my method to understand personal, social and political happenings around me.

It is a process of living, an everyday activity.

As my work travels with me through social spaces, I continuously re-asses the things I think I know, challenging the ‘givens’, in a constant state of research. 

Living to produce live work.

A line of questioning is formed through journeys made, photographs taken and art works created. 
I aim to communicate with you, to inspire questions and to uproot.

I bring you along with me on my journey of living.

I examine the relationship we have with the natural, and our need to construct a ‘world’, or culture, separate.

The conversations that happen as a response to the research, artwork and live work are just as, if not more important than the art. 

They are the art.

I choose live art for it’s directness and a live-ness. To live, art.

A piece of live art is like a life. It is created, given birth to, experienced, and ends. All that is left are the traces and memories. The beauty of live art is this impermanence. An impermanence reminding us all too much of our mortality, bombarding a live and present moment with technologies to document, preserve and keep. 
Simply replacing it. A moment cannot be kept. |t will always melt away. Like us.
