My practice focusses on the Currency of Care.  The transactional nature of care between people and their environment. I am interested in the systems we have constructed to care for and protect people and the planet.

My work is research-based. I work with sculpture, photography, text, video and sound. I usually start by researching the social, political, environmental and historical elements of the subjects and sites that I choose to use. I like to physically walk the site and to listen to and feel a place. As I walk, I make observations and collect objects, sounds, photographs and ideas.  I organise and write about these as a way of making sense of what I see and deciding what I want to create.

Underpinning my practice is a desire to find ways that the institutions and systems which govern our lives can build on the affirmative actions of individuals.  Audiences frequently take part, at some point in my practice, creating collective encounters that focus on memories or the overlooked. My work seeks to investigate what nourishes us, as well as the behaviours that hold us back.
