I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Newcastle working with installation, performance, sound, video, writing & sculpture to explore the human condition. I investigate ways in which language can be used to immerse the audience in multi-layered psychological and physical situations. Formally, my work is an exploration of abstraction and the relationship between colour, pattern and composition (layers, balance and rhythm).
My work is regularly exhibited in solo & group exhibitions & is contained in a variety of public collections. I have a number of public artworks, have been commissioned to produce site-specific work & have taken part in national & international residencies.
Since March 2020 I have maintained a daily Lockdown Diary which I publish online. In June 2020 I was subsequently commissioned by New Writing North to create Home Time - a diary and journaling tool, suitable for everyone who is interested in reflecting on their daily activities during and beyond Covid 19. I was also commissioned by The For Solidarity network to create a diary template that was printed in the Lockdown Gazette for people to record their own Lockdown experiences.
In April 2017 I gained Arts Council England Grants for the Arts funding for my project ‘Voices: Within and Without’, in which I worked with other voice hearers, artists, researchers, academics and Mental Health organisations to investigate auditory hallucinations, the experience of hearing voices.
My collection of short texts, A lot can happen in fifteen minutes, was published by the independent publishing House UnStapled Press in September 2016. In October 2017 I self-published Portion Control as part of REALITY CHECK, a group exhibition at The NewBridge Project : Gateshead. I am currently writing a creative memoir based on my experience of Anorexia Nervosa and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I work collaboratively with David Foggo as marginendeavour, using text, collage, installation and sound to explore our affinities with language.
