Sustainability

I partner with inter/national organisations to initiate risk-taking opportunities that challenge the status quo. I develop strategies for working sustainably, respectfully and ethically. Artist-led projects and collaboration are key to my creative development and success, expressing and developing my authorship and amplifying the politics of my work. I seek to reconstruct societal hierarchies, through creative producing and commissioning alongside making work.

MENTAL HEALTH, CLIMATE, ARTs & CULTURE, WORK & LIFE ECONOMIES, ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURES

A list of ‘well-being’ can do’s from the G.P is topped by ‘eat a banana’ and ‘go for a walk /spend time in a green space’. But what if there is no green space, what if it’s been chopped down and developed on for business, roads or something else? If we want good well being and  mental health- surely we need to strap ourselves to a tree?

Everything about the way we live and do is connected, there’s always a knock on-domino affect. So if conditions are to improve we need to stop thinking inside boxes and start thinking outside of them.

HEALTH as A SPECTRUM

We all have physical health, some people are healthier than others. In the same way we all have mental health, some people are healthier than others. We are all different and this is very individual in both cases.

>This is a Manifesto of sorts. It’s a dynamic working document/statement that will evolve and change over time. Outlining work practices with sincere, sustainable and radical practices at the centre.
