What I Do
Sound
Live performance is central to my sound practice, and I develop live shows incorporating movement and visuals, adapting to each venue or place.
I work across sound, research, film and curating. Sound plays a central role in my work as a contingent element of being in the present while together with others.
Programming
Currently Public Programmer at Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival (BFMAF), I am developing projects and public programs using artists' moving image to foster community relationships and partnerships.
Since 2009, I have worked as an artist, curator, and researcher producing projects exploring moving image and sound, site and context, with a particular interest in alternative regional histories and sites. My work has included factory parties and festivals; multi-site exhibitions and artist residency commissions.
I have enjoyed working with artists who challenge authorities' readings of history through moving image and sound including Giles Bailey, Adam Chodzko, Benedict Drew, Michelle Williams Gamaker, Laura Harrington, Rory Pilgrim and Heather Phillipson.
I play sounds, research and programme films and art, make music as Pentecostal Party and with Hen Ogledd (w Sally Pilkington, Rhodri Davies and Richard Dawson), worked/played with BFMAF, The Newbridge Project, Bad Spirits (w Paul Stewart), CIRCA Projects (w Adam Phillips & Sam Watson), Charm Offensive (w Susie Green), The Northern Charter, FUQ (w Mariam Rezaei) and others.
Ethos
Sound, art, curating, conversations and research are ways of communicating with others, through being in the present together. Conversations arise with others through a particular site.
