'Curious about the stories we tell ourselves, and the tales we tell others'
Informed by narrative, I am curious about the stories we tell ourselves, the tales we tell others, and the cultural narratives we create, this is what informs my work.
My interdisciplinary practice takes a multiplicity of forms. I am interested in what we reveal about ourselves and what we chose to keep hidden. My work aims to combine courage and creativity to effect change, unpacking and examining different elements of an issue by working interdisciplinarily,
I bring together the visual acuity of the artist, the heart of a humanistic psychology practitioner, with the pragmatism, experience and understanding of events & workshop design, production, and delivery
However, it was my ceramics training, early on and later, that taught me the appreciation of form and function, which hopefully I have managed to capture a little of throughout this website . . . because for me, my website is not solely a glorified list of Now, Then, Could Be, Maybe, but a place to play as well as inform.
