I work in film, photography and sculpture to converse with and effect discourse around contemporary visual culture and the politics of representation/representation of politics in art.
My hope is that the work I make provides an intersectional feminist model of practice, one that articulates and amplifies 'the everyday' whilst also provoking dynamic thought around hierarchies of power and dominant ideologies that determine basic human experiences, rights and liberties.
The work I make is about noticing the world and spending time with people and in places. I work through a lens mostly, on cameras and in film, but also by printing photographs and complicating representations through photo-chemical manipulation and analogue materiality, as well as sound and sculpture/installation. Part of this optical project is to reclaim technologies of the 20th Century for more authentically universal purposes, and to encompass community and multi-perspective narratives within my output.
I am interested in the embodied camera and image construction/ deconstruction/reconstruction through various critical perspectives. Current research focuses on community filmmaking, trauma, legacies of war/conflict, ghosts, ghost stories, childrens film education and feminist independent film.
