I am an interdisciplinary artist, musician, composer and producer based in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), working on commissioned and self directed creative projects and as a community arts leader and workshop facilitator. Sound often forms the basis of my creative practice; recording, improvising and performing with electronics and voice, while often incorporating elements of textiles, writing, digital art, interactive installation, moving image and print.

History, mythology and landscape are common themes throughout my work, with a particular focus on exploring the intersection between folk art and developing technology: what stories will be told and how will we tell them in the future? My work highlights and connects through-lines from ancient cultures to the present day and uses this as a basis to dream and speculate on what is to come. I am interested in experimenting with modes of storytelling, from the literal to the surreal and the abstract.

My approach to making is decidedly ad-hoc, open and playful, which is something I also aim to transfer into my teaching and community arts work, with the goal of presenting creative practice as something which is both meaningful, achievable and accessible for all.
