Artist statement

Through combinations of sculptural installation, live performance, video projection and soundscape I presents ambiguous forms and gestures that intentionally defy easy classification. Floating within a spectrum of desire and repulsion, my work creates opportunities to grapple with the anxiety of not being able to fully define a thing, be it conceptual or physical. Research into queer theory and gender studies is evident throughout my work as is my interest in the human psyche and societal taboos.
