AlienHorseHumanFemale, amateur performer, non-identical twin, paper mâché enthusiast, a confused northerner born in Barrow-in-Furness.
Using performance, sculpture and writing I critique how social-constructions and pre-existing narratives can control us. Through the creation of fictitious characters, I explore our place in society. I like to use my own body to perform the characters I create as a way to learn and embody multiple possibilities and stories. I’m interested in how an art practice can begin to self-produce and write a narrative for itself outside of the artist’s control. I like to keep my audience in a simultaneous feeling of discomfort and ease.
