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.

Volunteer-run cinema project showing monthly documentary screenings with Q&As
2017-18
In 2017 I was invited by film maker Daniel Frampton to help set up the Thinking Cinema, a temporary micro-cinema space in Ladywell, Lewisham. The cinema ran for a year and a half, showing monthly documentary screenings with director Q&As after each. The cinema was located in a forward-thinking project funded by Lewisham Council: a multi-storey building where all upper floors provided accommodation for families who were homeless or were at risk of homelessness. The ground floor comprised the cinema and a cafe/workspace.
