Artist and Writer living and working in London and Berlin.
I am currently seeking employment in the Fine / Contemporary Art sector, either with a gallery or in publishing - areas in which I already have previous experience with the likes of the Chisenhale Gallery, Royal Academy and 1Granary Magazine. Having developed a practice that is situated at the point of convergence of academic research, writing and making as a professional artist, I am able to contribute a broad set of skills, both technical and critical, in a variety of fields, and personally speaking I'm a very independent, engaged and driven individual who enjoys being challenged.
I am a native English speaker. I also speak French to an advanced level, and have elementary skills in German.
As a working artist I'm interested in developing an experimental practice in digital media, writing and performance which serves, as told through blurred [science-] fictions and truths, to critique the fantasy of cybernetic embodiment and the habitation of digital space as immediate sites for the reinvention of the (post)human self; these are spaces which perpetuate patriarchal norms, responsible for the generation of reductive representations and violent erasures of marginalised subjects - of whom the female is a particular focus for me.
In engaging and experimenting with [and hacking] new technologies, I seek to interrogate their uses and limitations, and subvert them to explore how one might have agency as a digital body.

Projects
- 'Elsewhere: The Space and Tactics of Female Virtuality' - Essay / BookElsewhere: The Space and Tactics of Female Virtuality This essay was presented for mu BA dissertation at Central Saint Martins, which I then designed and printed into books. Drawing on the writings of Gilles Deleuze, and the Posthuman and Post-Structrualist schools of thought, and looking at the work of contemporary artists Tai Shani, Cécile B. Evans, Renée Green and Hito Steyerl, it constitutes an exploration of a possible space of resistance and transformation (discursive, phsyical and digital
