My practice operates at the intersection of history, memory and speculative possibility, using self and collective mythologising as a strategic tactic. Blending the corporeal with fantasy, I draw on autobiography, communal stories and lived experience to construct a personal and collective cultural language, recreate lost and forbidden languages to build new vocabularies of resistance - both tools for self-definition, rewriting and radical reimagining. Lived experience is always the starting point, but the destination is a reconstruction of self, singular and collective, untethered from the stereotypes and stigma imposed by culture, gender and class.

This reconstruction is also material and political. Working across sculpture, light, textiles, bio-materials, fermentation, sound, image, written word, lexicon and codex, responsive technologies and collective action, I make work that speaks about gender, culture, class, disability and belonging - about what it means to have power, or not; to control your body, or not. Weaving myth, fantasy and personal history into acts of making, my practice actively rejects hegemonic narrative structures through experimental and durational forms to interrogate class, diaspora and the disabled body in spaces co-created to overturn cultural, political and social norms.

That logic: to propose and act out alternative realities extended from the body into the world. Working locally, nationally and internationally, I collaborate with communities to reimagine, reconnect and redesign local environments, green and public spaces, local food production, supply chains and social businesses . My socially engaged practice produces working models rather than representations: new forms of economic and environmental systems, land ownership, built environment and democratic access to emergent technologies. Unwritten ancestry and collective voices are the keystones of my practice, always a form of activism in which reclaimed biographical and communal narratives become the blueprint for what comes next.
