Multi Dimensional Creative and ResearcherLondon, United Kingdom
About me
I am a dedicated, hard working and self-driven multi dimensional artist and researcher based in London. My works range from analogue photography to video art and immersive installation to spatial sound design. My extensive knowledge of different creative practices makes me skilled at preparing and installing exhibitions working closely with the technical teams, curators and artists. I have well developed time management skills making me suited for fast-paced team environments.
Projects
  • Erode
    ErodeThe generative surreal landscapes of Erode are a reflection of the effects of climate change and anthropogenic impact on our geological landscapes. Human activities have increased the rate of erosion by 10-40 times the rate at which it normally occurs. Deforestation, intensive agriculture, urban growth, roads and anthropogenic climate change are among the most impactful human activities on stimulating erosion. If wind, water and movement of the earth have always been seen as strong geological f
  • Meshed
    MeshedEverything on this planet is entangled in a mesh, living and nonliving. We are learning the hard way that everything is interconnected. Realising this interconnection shows us the darkness in ecology, revealing the cracks of the damage our planet is facing. If we listen attentively to the world’s soundscapes, we can capture the decimation of acoustic biodiversity due to human actions in the biosphere. Human noise, climate change and resource extraction are silencing the choirs of the biological
  • Transparent
    TransparentTransparent is a reflection on the ways we construct and simulate hyperrealistic depictions of nature and how we control the ways we envision the natural world. In the modern Anthropocene, the natural world is commonly conceptualised as something which can be engineered to our immediate needs and reduced to raw materials. Transparent uses capacitive sensors that allow the participant to control the rain that falls on the window, varying in location and intensity. This interaction offers the op
  • Landing
    LandingLast year I took part in a two-week workshop at the AqTushetii artist residency in Tusheti Georgia. The Crossing into the Electric Magnetic workshop focused on experimental music production and practice that combined theoretical, technical, conceptual, hands-on and unorthodox exercises and methods. The outcome of this workshop was a finished composition I performed with audio reactive visuals using the methods of field recording, sound study, mixing and mastering, alternative tuning and tape col
  • Reciprocal
    ReciprocalReciprocal is a live performance using a cello and live electronics to create a singular augmented instrument in sensory immersion. Working with cellist Ruby Moore, we created an intensive and fierce experience that accentuates the gesture and motion of sound. The synthesis of movement and expression are key parts to experiencing a cello player performing. The bow of a cellist is an extension of their arm, it is what brings their intertwined self to life. By using a microcontroller that tracks
  • Censored Apartheid
    Censored ApartheidWe take for granted some of the music, literature and movies we are able to experience. Some of these pieces of work can give you understanding, they can plant seeds in your mind that grow. They can promote freedom and equality. Imagine a world where we didn’t have these arts to help us flourish. In this project, I look at three banned and censored mediums during the regime of apartheid in South Africa. A record, ‘Cold Fact’ written and played by Sixto Rodriguez, a book ‘Burger’s Daughter’ writt
