Interdisciplinary text-based artist, I explore consciousness and the shifting boundaries of perception through spoken word, digital performance, and glitch-infused media. My work draws on quantum theory and associative philosophy, asking: what does it mean to perceive and persist? To be both presence and witness, to move through time.
In alternative and experimental spaces, my practice takes shape within the shifting architectures of thought, the textures of language, and the ever-evolving forms of emergent technologies. I delve into philosophical and speculative conceptions of civilisation, lingering at the thresholds between human and machine.
Drawing on unpublished manuscripts, I collaborate with engineers and composers to create hypnagogic, layered experiences. These works interrogate the fragile theatre of being from both universal and anthropological perspectives, exploring existential dissolution, surveillance, mind manipulation, and the human longing for meaningful existence.
Inhabiting abandoned spaces, my spoken and written texts collapse past, present, and speculative futures into immersive, unsettling encounters.
Through current research into quantum phenomena and associative philosophy, I investigate the fluidity of consciousness, the dissolution of self, and the entanglement of human perception with technological systems. In an era approaching transhumanism, my practice continually returns to two questions: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be alive?
Born in Adelaide, South Australia, I returned after living in Sydney and New York between 1984–2019. I studied at the South Australian School of Art (photography, sculpture, education) and later gained scholarships to commence a BSpecEd at Flinders University and an MFA (Hons) at Western Sydney University.
