Multidisciplinary practitioner working across performance, sound, poetry, and spatial design. I start from the site and material—where things come from, why they're there, and where they can be pushed.
I'm interested in natural materials, contemporary applications of traditional craft, and the body as aapparatus for knowing and remembering. Methods often combine field research, material experimentation, and theoretical frameworks to examine migration, translation, and how cultural symbol systems operate through physical labour. Technical skills include traditional craft (rubbing techniques, papermaking), spatial construction, sound production, video editing, and choreographic collaboration.
Also working as a makeup artist in styling and visual creation. Based in London, with additional work in arts education consulting.
