I am a socially-engaged visual artist. I work principally with moving image, making standalone artists' film and installations. My work often plays with mainstream and accessible forms – documentary, music video, magazine – so as to move beyond a traditional gallery audience.
I am interested in who makes work, how, why, for whom, and why that matters. I often produce work within a discrete community or interest group, making work with a personal connection to my collaborators and broader social relevance. I want to celebrate and make visible the joy of the making process itself and explore its value for individual and collective growth and change. I develop processes to enable diverse groups of people to make work together. This focus is mirrored in the subject matter of my work, which deals with themes around our social environment and relationships with one another.
Details of shows, talks, teaching, awards etc lives here.
Curatorial work lives here.
My film work is produced by satellite, an artist-led production company.
In 2020 I set up artists’ imprint bored.of.works.
I occasionally assist other artists and friends in a technical capacity - as Director of Photography, experimental film consultant, photographer, that kind of thing. Details of that work lives here.

2020-21
I conceived and set up skip/intro during the COVID pandemic. The idea was to support emerging artists at a time when most sources of funding disappeared overnight, access to the tools to make moving image work vanished, and there was a real risk artists who had been structurally under-supported by institutions already might be forced to leave promising careers altogether.
The project was a commissioning programme, with three selected artists receiving an artist fee, production budget, technical and curatorial support, and another ten artists receiving technical and curatorial support to make ambitious new moving image work.
The final three films were exhibited at Gasworks during 2020.
I co-curated skip/intro with Elizabeth Benjamin and Dhelia Snoussi.
