The project begins with a scream. Live feedback from a performers mouth is transferred into the mouth of a hand built vessel. Performers hands shape the sound. Rocks, vessels and video projections are activated using live feedback, streaming and movement.
Torn I and II, 2017
These works explore the idea of imperfection - each piece is torn open to reveal another gash in contrasting white porcelain beneath. There is such an emphasis on perfection in society and yet we all have our own stories, our own woundings - in this work I wanted to express how we are shaped by life and how we can gain strength from adversity.
