My collaborative practice (with Edwin Janssen) is a creative and discursive site for production, collaboration, social engagement and reflection. Exhibition projects, environments and publications integrate art making, presentation, exchange and education. Bespoke environments enable public investigation of subject-matters where our artworks act as ‘conversation pieces’ to stimulate discussion on topics such as life and death, cultural identity and place. My individual practice and research explore the role of creative (visual) writing in art and artist’s publishing, often developed in situ. Research focuses on the mediation of history and private archives, migratory aesthetics, and gender within collaborative practice.
