My work is an attempt to draw links between our everyday experiences, and the social, political and cultural forces that shape our lives. I believe that each is essential to the understanding of the other. I am interested in who makes work, how, why, for whom, and why that matters. I explore collective processes, and their value for individual and collective growth and change. I am interested in what happens when we make work together; ways of achieving things that none of us could alone. Art making is a form of collective dreaming, if we let it.

I was commissioned to make a moving image work exploring an issue relevant to psychiatry, as part of BFI/no.w.here/Wellcome Trust project We Cannot Unsee. The resulting film uses photochemical techniques and experimental processes to playfully deconstruct the politics of sensory experience, using the camera as a simple metaphor for the mind.
