Artist Statement

My practice mainly takes form through performative audio installations where I blend sound ecology, music and video art. Building workshops and co-creating pieces with groups of people through sound walks, re-sounding in the environment, using alternative performance spaces and drawing upon naturalist studies where we learn a bit from everyone's perception (and ask more questions than answer them) are a few examples of activities that interlink and shape my work. Photography also has it’s place in there as much as zine making, audio documentaries and wildlife tracking, somehow strung together with intangible threads holding these creative and neo-naturalist endeavors together.
Ecology, social imagination, local & oral knowledge transmission are key themes as well. In an attempt to re-structure and re-think the ways we shape our relationship to creativity, art/music and the land we live on, I seek a way to build relationship bridges, share emotional connections through performance, learn from local communities and share what I can of my own through the practice(s) that carry me.
