In my practice as an independent visual artist I exercise play as the main approach to creating work. My work helps me to remain curious and open towards the world and its turbulences. I am interested in storytelling as a mechanism of learning and social change. I draw back from the old forms of storytelling – the myths, the legends, the songs and the cosmogonies. I am fascinated by the concept of faith – especially the old beliefs focused on human relationship with nature.

What can we learn from being in a state of liminality? Can we use symbolical acts of prayer and worship to have a more balanced relationship with the world?

I have been working across the mediums of animation, printmaking and performance since 2016. My previous films have explored themes of connectivity and the subconscious, often through a poetic, abstract approach to storytelling; allowing the films to be accessible to the wider audience. Both of my major previous short films, award-winning ‘Illusions’ and BAFTA-nominated ‘Chado’ were accompanied by solo shows where the materials from the production were displayed. My pieces are material oriented, and I enjoy the tactility of making them. I invite chance into my work, many techniques I use are experimental and the results surprise me.
