About the Artist

I am fascinated by technology and social media’s affect on human-to-human communications. I’ve explored phenomena such as online dating, the Internet of Things and the digital afterlife. Within these investigations my focus often hones in on the potential of these technological developments to help or hinder gender equality. Where and what is feminism in the digital century?

I work predominantly in the medium of moving-image, which allows me marry together my interest in the visual arts and my love of music. I've always paid close attention to the way in which sound can support a visual message but I have started to unshackle the musical dimension of my work from its role as accessory to visual material. I’m working on ‘conceptual compositions’ which lie within the indistinct division between art and music: a hybrid, 'Musart'.
