MA work

MA work

My work looks at the human desire to relate to the other, examining the individual within personal relationships, in social contexts and interacting with their environment.

I’m interested in the loneliness that comes from the inability to relate to others, or even to one’s self. Much of my work looks at non-verbal modes of communication, such as music; the inadequacy of language to articulate human emotion can cause feelings of alienation.

My video works and drawings focus on the body, and the space it inhabits, in moments of transformation and spectacle. Depicting individuals declaring themselves autonomous from society.
