About
I work with, and in the spaces between, film & animation, drawing & writing. Working with cinematic and theatrical forms I pursue ways narrative is complexly entangled in place.
I am intrigued by the spectral, underpinned by questioning the relationship between representation and presence, seeing this as a catalyst for change.
My films animations drawings and writing are acts of conjuring - invocations of a sort - in which I create highly scripted narratives that enable melancholic but wry, corporeal and often intense encounters with overlooked and forgotten histories and imagined futures.
