‘It can be argued that art is a collaborative process and can’t exist without the help and dialogue of others. Within my practise I perform, direct and facilitate actions, performances and events. These events generally question the pre-existing structures that constitute artist and audience but also question any establishment of behaviours. I aim to integrate audience, making the audience proactive in their experience of the work, democratizing the art experience by encouraging a shared experience. ‘
