Text based interdisciplinary artist incorporating new and old technologies.

Exhibiting and performing predominantly in alternative spaces in an underground network of warehouses and disused factory spaces interstate and overseas, my work is informed by architecture. Architecture of the mind, language, and the city, contemplating philosophical and metaphysical conceptions of civilisations present and future past.

Self-quoting continuously from unpublished manuscripts, my practice engages collaboration with electronic music composers, computer and video engineers, actors, singers, dancers and outsider artists.

With a strong conceptual foundation, I am known for work that incorporates the human condition from a universal, contemporary and anthropological view point. Recurring themes examine existential ennui in relation to surveillance, mind manipulation and the human longing for a more substantive existence. In an era approaching transhumanism we must ask what it means to be human. What it means to be alive.
