I am an artist based in Manchester working across the visual and performing arts. Central to my artistic practice is the collaging and remixing of found media, driven by my interest in systems of language and representation. Much of my work is concerned with the fundamentals of performance, such as liveness, presence and the unfolding of a situation in time and space. I use stagecraft, choreography and the presence of audiences to create intimate, beguiling and at times unsettling events and environments characterised by dramatic suspense.
I am also a performer/director and enjoy interpreting the work of other artists across a variety of disciplines. Most recently I co-directed a production of Samuel Beckett’s Quad I + II with composer/conductor Jack Sheen for Refracted Sound, an event at the Southbank Centre produced by the London Sinfonietta. I have performed UK premieres of work by Yvonne Rainer and Vito Acconci, at venues such as Tate Britain, London Contemporary Music Festival and the Lowry (Salford).
I am one half of artist duo Rowland’s Leaving, with Darren Nixon.
From 2012 - 2022 I was founding director of the event series Video Jam.
