About

I’m an artist, educator and curator, based in Nottingham. 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. I make sculpture, costume, performance and film, stage events in public places, and convene public platforms for exchange. I work through collaboration, with an expanded approach to community that includes the more-than-human. Collaborations have included work with artists, writers, scientists, herbalists, landworkers, activists and communities.

Recent projects and commissions include: Soil Recipes, a project for Ignite! with soil scientist Kits Campbell and Pamoja women’s group (2024); Digitalis (2023-4) in collaboration with Usha Mahenthiralingam and Freddy Griffiths; 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). In 2023 I was awarded a DYCP grant from Arts Council England.

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