My work finds it origin in British customs and folklore, yet mixes in references from global anthropology and current popular phenomena to re-examine the position and relevance of these traditions in today's society.
One of my aims is to fabricate new mythology by abstraction of street theatre, carnival and disco cultures. To do this I am utilising transformation as a way of abstracting or shifting meaning in the content of the work, through use of material, kinetic movement and performance.

I am also exploring different strands of humour within the work; from slapstick, satire and black comedy in an ongoing exploration of how comedy can become an art form and how to evoke laughter from an art audience.
I use vivid or seductive colour to raise tension between surface and structure in objects, and have a strong interest in costume and the adornment of the body when performing. My intentions are to magnify archetypal characters and themes through a fantastical approach yet at the same time question what exactly are the universal traits that we recognise.

My final works take the form of installations incorporating combinations of sculpture, performance, costume and video.
