Independent, interdisciplinary text-based artist utilising old and new technologies.

Exploring consciousness and the shifting boundaries of perception through text, spoken word, digital performance and glitch-infused media, my work draws on quantum theory and associative philosophy to ask: what does it mean to perceive and persist, to be both presence and witness?

Working across alternative and experimental spaces, my practice unfolds within the architectures of thought, the textures of language and the evolving forms of emergent technologies. My ongoing enquiry into consciousness and the nature of self informs my engagement with both early networked technologies and contemporary artificial intelligence, as I explore the shifting boundaries between human and machine.

Drawing on unpublished manuscripts, I collaborate with digital artists, musicians, engineers and researchers to create layered, often hypnagogic experiences that interrogate the fragile theatre of being from universal and anthropological perspectives. These works explore existential dissolution, surveillance, mind manipulation and the human longing for meaning.

In abandoned and liminal spaces, spoken and written texts collapse past, present and speculative futures into immersive, unsettling encounters. Through ongoing enquiry into consciousness, the dissolution of self and the entanglement of human perception with technological systems, my practice returns to two questions: what does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be alive?

Born in Adelaide on Kaurna land South Australia, I returned after living in Sydney and New York between 1984 and 2019. I studied at the South Australian School of Art (photography, sculpture, education) and hold a Bachelor of Education (Secondary Art). I subsequently received scholarships to undertake further studies at Flinders University and Western Sydney University.
