Black Friday performance, 2016
While residing in big city one cannot help but respond to the madness to stay sane. This performance came together spontaneously, but also after years of observing people reading papers on the underground. The night of the performance coincided with Black Friday hence the title. I was excited to deliver something which allowed people to hear their voice and meditate upon everyday as poetry, mantra, prayer, noise, vocal reflection.

Act One - One Act, 2017
Rachel Madgeburg and I walked the gallery space while I documented our movements through out the morning. Pacing the space, empty of anything other than ourselves, our rucksacks, my outdoor walking paraphernalia (rucksack, vacuum flask, compass, and my camera equipment. We reflected on our indoor walking in the gallery space and our own memories of installing exhibitions and invigilating shows.

Gunfighter Performance, 2017
As part of the ‘Gunfighter’ project we collaborated with Tim and Nicola of Genetic Moo, in which the sculpture interacted with their computer programmes, which were projected inside the Limbo Arts space in Margate as part of their Wellcome Trust video project. We brought along another wearable sculpture ‘Keeper of the Patterns’ as well. The sculptures were animated by Katie, Marianne and Chris.

Second Skin, 2017
Wearing a dress covered with many pockets, I roam the beach, picking up stones and putting them in my pockets. Gradually the weight of the stones alters my weight, until I can no longer walk and crawl out of the dress.

The Green Room, after Henning all the cage is the stage 2016
The performance piece The Green Room: after Henning, all the cage is the stage focuses on transformation, to be in transit and exist within different time aspects and beings. The performance takes place there and then, and at the same time it exists as a reference for the future through a ‘green screen’, a room for digital form and as an invisibility filter for different screen-based futures.
