​I am a practice-led multidisciplinary artist, researcher and educator whose practice is informed by an investigation and embodied exploration of watery sites, using residencies (in near and remote locations) as a methodology. I recently returned from a month-long Öres (September 2026) art and research residency on Örö, a geographically remote, former military fortress island on the outskirts of the Finnish archipelago.

 

My work explores areas both above and below the horizon, as well as the edges between land and bodies of water. Working with both analogue and scientific digital data, revealing invisible realms within our visible world. My materials include my body as a site of sensation and experience, water, experimental film, expanded notions of photography, optical devices, both within and beyond the electromagnetic field of vision, microscopic imaging, light, projection, sound, ephemera, text, and meteorological data.​
