(he/him)

Currently based in Glasgow, my practice is concerned with the relationship between people and public space, looking into how events and spectacles can alter perceptions of public space by turning it into site.

Recently, I have been exploring the idea of ambition and individual value, specifically the value of skills and what it means to be a ‘jack of all trades’ in a society focused on becoming specialists.

While I explore these ideas through live and durational performances, I am also interested in materials and making, to support performances; such as costume and prop making, or to explore relationships with space.
