My practice is Centered around performances, installations and video. Informed by my research of Futurism and Fluxus, I am fascinated by the mundane yet absurd nature of ordinary actions, which develops into contemporary performance.
My performances often feature everyday objects that I will manipulate to perform with in an absurd fashion. My practice involves an importance of site specificity, and my performances are created with a strong sense of humour and pathos. A key thread throughout all my work is the involvement of labour and repeating tasks to completion in a variety of forms.
My dyslexia has led me to explore the limitations, frustrations and nonsensical aspects of the written word, which can be visible throughout my practice. My work often features text-based battles alongside performances inspired by this language. My use of gentle humour aims to elevate the repetitive nature of everyday life that are sometimes overlooked, the realises itself in forms of characters such as: the janitor, technician, door-to-door salesman and you.
