SEEKING GALLERY
A 24-hour piece of live art where I sleep in the window of a gallery. An alarm wakes me each hour and I kiss a blank canvas until it says a phrase. At the end of the period, a poem is read and the canvas is destroyed.

Shampoo
2021 | VIDEO ART | 4 mins
For this piece of video art, I sit in a bathtub while purple shampoo is poured over my body. It's a meditation on the passage of time through menial tasks during various lockdowns. It was commissioned by Signdance Collective for their 'Essence of TIME' Collection. In August 2021 I was selected as the lead artist at the Hybrid Festival in High Wycome. This piece took centre stage.
