Artist Statement : I am interested in the personal and the political, humour, feminist strategies and subjectivities in a lived world.

I make artists’ books, video installations, performances and drawings – pretty much anything that seems to structurally contain thoughts and action. These are often in series, as records of precarious things.

My recent initiatives have focused on collaborative ventures and shared ideas, where individuals and individual works are not seen as isolated from each other.

Not the point of origin or of termination but to be in the middle, part of a milieu.

Rolling in but not rolling over – a persistence of dignity and resistance against a backdrop of
rapacious economics and failing environments.
I have spent this time contemplating all things soil, forming a pair of texts. One as an
account of this time of thinking, one as a declaration of love to the material world.
On Thursday 3rd August I will present some soil actions in a more than human world of trans-
corporeality.
