My practice explores nostalgia, human’s relationship with the natural world, and the power of participation. I create ephemeral events that encourage the viewers to become part of the work. I aim to create freeing experiences where an alternate reality allows a space for play. I’m interested in breaking down traditional boundaries between spectator and creator and moving towards a collaborative practice.
My work often materialises installations, murals, costumes and interactive sculpture, where the viewers are invited to enter an imagined reality. I aim to challenge and abolish barriers found in everyday life that prevent the creation of a space and time for adult play. My practice is socially driven, I strive to work with projects that use art to promote positive change within local communities, with a particular focus on the power of children’s creativity.
