My practice expands through choreographic and performance-based video as well as sculptural and installation considerations. Looking to reconcile queer identity, body-environment relationships, and organic materiality, informed by my positionality as a queer trans pākehā in Aotearoa.

This work reflects a personal sensitivity to physical presence and atmospheres and their role in traditional expressions and expectations of place and identity.
