Description

I am a British / New Zealand artist based in Berlin working on solo, collaborative and commissioned pieces in the visual arts and performance.

Working with:
bold colour, paint, carbon paper, film, gouache, Maori design, graphite, collage, dance, knitting, photography, nostalgic kiwiana, printing, food, dolls house paraphernalia, pornography, dioramas, bad puppetry, comedy, the 1920's - 40's, voice and sound, domestic DDR objects and industrial appliances, large scale immersive structures, and sports men -

my solo performance and visual arts practice likes to examine a gay / male subjectivity playfully exploring concepts of hyper-masculinity (especially in the sports arena), the behavioural effects of repression (external and/ or self applied), and laughing at stigmas surrounding 'the gays' and sex.

I am a co-founder of London based immersive Theatre Company 'Living Structures' and artists collective 'The Norwich Dandies'.

I have a background in acting, improvisation, painting, drawing, dance, and acrobatic / gymnastic movement and trained in devising theatre at Dartington College of Arts graduating in 2005.
