I am an interdisciplinary artist, curator, writer and researcher based in Nottingham, UK with a focus on sound. Following my practice-based PhD in Fine Art and Philosophy, my concerns include the cultural, political, societal and environmental aspects of borders such as the ambiguity of the river as boundary: the relationship between the natural world and human interference: protest as sonic. These are explored through sound, film, installation, drawing with multi-dimensional outcomes.
The many different outcomes of my practice are the result of a response - to my surroundings, to events, to chance encounters. I create site-specific sound works that use recordings above ground and beneath water that may be accentuated with improvised instruments or voice; ephemeral sculptures; short films of seemingly insignificant events and performative drawings that may include text. The narrative of the border and its relationship to time and space are the basis of my practice and the work plays on these ambiguous relationships.
I am part of the Near Now Studio, Broadway, Nottingham; Surface Gallery studios, Nottingham; Axisweb and Forum Klanglandshaft, Florence with whom I have been included in several publications concerning the aural.
I would like to thank Arts Council England, Near Now, Broadway Gallery; Nottingham and Artcore Gallery, Derby for their support on different projects.
