Stay wild

The real world is more interesting than art.

Run on your own and with the pack. The group is a form of drag. They can't catch you...Shift shape. Cuckoo to mistletoe to crocodile bird. One in ten billion. Be a hypocrit. Make sure your name is omni-barrelled and you change it every day. Disguise yourself as something familiar. Trojan horsing. Nobody likes an activist.

Stay active.

---------------------------------------------

I react spontaneously to the world around me, exploring and questioning the situations and environments I encounter. Collecting and re-contextualising found materials, creating narratives through objects, making sculptural interventions and gestures. My work is an ongoing process of re-coding physical and cultural space to create an ever-changing vapour-trail of ideas, actions and artefacts.
