bio

I have been an arts educator for the past 20 years including 15 as Head of a very large Visual Arts department and currently I guest lecture at Leeds Arts University. I give talks on my practice and have interviewed artists for the The Photographers Gallery London educational events. I am filmmaker and editor and run workshops in both as well as analogue photography, book production and oil painting. I am an interdisciplinary artist that uses practice-based research to make work about things I don’t understand. Primarily using sound and film my work explores misunderstanding, especially in relation to the nature of time. I create live and prerecorded audiovisual performances and installations that use elements of pop music and combines together old and new technologies. I utilise unwanted musical instruments together with discarded technology such as old iPhones, obsolete sound equipment and damaged television to create an immersive and disorienting experience.
