My work is performative research. I try to find out what I am doing by doing it. I find images and connections through physical improvisations and material interactions. I collaborate with audiences to come to a more comprehensive awareness. I am ready to subvert my plan to follow discoveries made in the presence of an audience. I make mistakes. I question embodiment, pleasure, memory, agency, labour and the impacts of a social location on identity. My experiments with excessive paper in The Clearing correlate these pools of interest and allow for the unimaginable to emerge in the juxtapositions of felt content.
