Working across a range of contexts, projects and collaborations, you might find me ranting, chanting + dancing in fields, galleries, studios, theatres, pubs, churches, shopping centres or community halls. From flash-mobs with 50 over 50s to delivering workshops on crafting rants of resistance; I was even front woman in a band for a while, and provided the disembodied wings for a video art installation at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. My career is an anarchic, fun loving, consistently curious cut-and-paste experience from the sublime to the ridiculous. A never-ending artistic research project in the merging of art + life. Long may the adventure continue.
