Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist, primarily engaged in the realm of performance. My artistic expression revolves around the fusion of improvisation and well-informed research. My style is characterized by a mischievous nature, constantly evolving through the interplay of various elements within the realm of live art.

 Thematically, my work delves into the realms of the absurd, exploring shamanistic motifs within the context of the 21st century. Central to my artistic philosophy is the concept that the problem itself often embodies its solution, and I explore this dichotomy alongside elements of magic and the utilization of technology as a tool for artistic expression. In my creative process, I find inspiration in images, sounds, or texts, initiating a journey of exploration and discovery. Employing improvisation, I navigate through diverse possibilities, embracing unexpected directions that may arise. These unexpected encounters contribute to a rich tapestry in my work.

 My artistic influences draw from both the everyday experiences and the work of esteemed artists such as Beckett, Andy Kaufman, Paul McCarthy, David Hammons, Roise Gibbens, Rebecca Moss, and Pope.L and Irish artists Sandra Johnston and Dominic Thorpe. Their contributions serve as inspiration, guiding my artistic endeavours towards unique and compelling expressions. The meaning and interpretation of my work extend beyond the boundaries of my creative process. I strive to engage and enrich the audience, providing them with a contemplative experience. I believe in offering the audience a task, encouraging them to find their own interpretations.

 In conclusion, my artistic identity is rooted in a multidisciplinary approach to performance art, where improvisation, research, and thematic exploration connect. Through a diverse creative process and inspired by a range of influences, I aim to create work that captivates, has a poetic nuance, and leaves a lasting impression on the audience, inviting them to explore their own interpretations and observations.
