My art practice is sometimes dialogical and site specific, involving differing levels of participation and collaboration. I often work with smell as a device to re-programme how we perceive our surroundings and the systems they are built on.

Emancipation has been an underlying force in much of my work. Using moments of interaction to escape into different memories / places. The work oscillates between participatory events and obsessive research using archives, walking, food, film, sound, smell, bookmaking, interventions or combinations of all the above.

For me, research and the processes by which I gather information are as much a part of my work as any end result. I'm currently a PhD researcher at Ulster University.

I also work as part of artist collective Sociable NonScience and as a freelance Curator/Producer on projects such as Grounding, an alternative art school / residency, bringing together like minded people.
