About
I am an interdisciplinary artist from the UK with a BA (hons) and MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice. I also worked for several years as assistant to Andy Warhol Superstar, Ultra Violet.
My previous career in fashion has a large influence on my work, which aims to explore the body in all its complexities within social, cultural, political and personal frameworks. I work primarily, but not exclusively, with text, mixed media, sound, print, through to lens-based mediums such as digital video, light projection and photography.
My practice extends to covert, live 'non-performances' that lay somewhere between performance art and political street art. These happenings are documented then (anonymously) re-presented using installation, print and digital media. Documentation of these happenings are not included on this website.
My first international exhibition was in a group show at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City in April 2010, hosted by punk legend Jayne County.
