About
My practice transforms the event of writing into performance, video, collage and other things that make it difficult to produce readings. These interconnected forms assemble found and constructed images as language experiments using poetic explorations of interruption & indeterminacy, symmetry & syntax, notation & the paragrammatic.
Often autobiographical, my practice collects, organises and superimposes visual and textual material to explore the relationships between objects and words, objects as words and words as objects.
My current research explores sound poetry and the materiality of language. Exploring the possibilities of e-poetry, codework and programming with theories of the voice and language in performance.
In 2010 I co-founded O U I Performance with artist Victoria Gray and together we programme contemporary time-based performance in York, North Yorkshire.
I am currently lecturer in Performance at York St John University, York, UK
