My artistic research is primarily in moving image and participatory performance. My practice is informed by my ongoing exploration of the role of the senses and our embodiment in communicating meaning, often using narratives to help activate imagination and provide a framework. Beyond this, the core themes in my creative practice are built around our relationship to landscape and place in general and how our environment can become an extension of our inner worlds. In my participatory performance projects I focus on the importance of creative and cross-disciplinary collaborative process, often involving scientists and other specialists. I have recently completed writing a book called Exiled from our Bodies: How to Come Back to our Senses, to be published by Routledge.
I run sensory workshops, which are a key part of my methodology. I am a founder and editor of Tangible Territory journal, an interdisciplinary platform focused on how we make sense through all our senses. My PhD, about tactility and embodiment in film, which I completed in 2012 at the Royal College of Art, is called Tangible Territory: Inviting the Body into the Experience of Moving Image and can be found HERE.
