A participatory and performative practice exploring the layered histories, relationships and ecologies that shape a place.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose site-responsive practice is grounded in storytelling, participation and performance. I create participatory events, performative works and temporary installations in public spaces, parks, communal gardens and in-between urban sites.
Influenced by my background in architecture, my work explores how cultural, political and ecological forces shape landscapes and urban environments.Through spoken-word performances, site-based walks, temporary installations and participatory events we attune to the stories, histories and multiple human and more-than-human voices that shape a place. These encounters reveal layered histories, unequal relationships and hidden forms of occupation embedded within a place.
My practice is process-led and develops through walking, listening, collective gathering and site-based research. By engaging with communities, plants and ecological systems as active participants, we collectively explore alternative forms of knowledge, relation and kinship, opening space for more reciprocal relationships to emerge.
