I am a Manchester-based transdisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher. My practice incorporates speculative design and eco-media approaches to investigate perception, environment, and the ways humans engage with the natural world. I teach at SODA (School of Digital Arts) in Manchester.
My work spans many kinds of media, from drawing, installation, soundart, workshops, interactive installations, and immersive multisensory perceptual experiments. My PhD research involved collaboration with experimental psychologists (BEAM Lab/University of Manchester), during which I devised innovative multisensory perceptual experiments and experiences which used tactile stimulus in combination with movement and mixed visual perspectives using live video and head-mounted displays (See the exhibition here and our current project here).
I am a member of several artist collectives, including, Proximity, para-lab (a collective of artists and scientists), and Owl Project. Owl Project is known for performance [sound art] and sculptures that combine elements of crafts and electronics. Most notably, we created ~FLOW (in collaboration with Ed Carter), a floating water mill that powered an installation full of mechanical wooden and electronic musical instruments which responded to data collected from the river water, commissioned for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad (more info here).
