I am a socially engaged artist whose practice is grounded in the practice of living, encompassing daily acts of interruption, refusal and resistance on one hand, and love, care and reciprocity on the other.
This CV is an honest record of my practice and the conditions that make it possible. Exhibitions, commissions, residencies, workshops, talks and teaching, sit alongside part time work which I continue to carry out to
support myself as a working class artist.
