About

I’m an artist, educator and curator, based in Nottingham. I collaborate a lot - often with other people, and sometimes with weeds, yeast, wastelands, yams, salt, trees or parks. Through socially engaged and place-based research, I develop long term projects - using creative workshops and public dialogue to reflect on collective histories and futures, social and environmental justice, knowledge-making, and the politics of public space. Artworks emerge from this rich mulch - conversational, sculptural and alive.

Recent projects and commissions include: The Body-Forest Summer School (2022) with Jack Young, for Spike Island; Desire Lines (2020-21) a Trust New Art commission for Crow Park in the Lake District; Correpondences (2020-21) with Katy Beinart, exhibited online with Five Years gallery and at Jewish Museum London; Urban Antibodies, research supported by Arts Council England and Wellcome Trust, and a residency at ZK/U Berlin (2017-19); and Jerwood Open Forest exhibition at Jerwood Space, London (2016).

I completed an MA in Arts and Ecology in 2008. Alongside my work as an artist, I work as the Engagement Curator at Primary, an artist-led space in Nottingham, running a public programme of commissions, workshops and events - centring co-production and community led processes.
