I bring video, audio, print and sculpture together in installation works that examine forms of social alienation proliferating throughout contemporary society. Often looking at communication and social media, I examine the influence of global capitalism through an ecofeminist lens, and utilise installation as a medium to immerse and engage the viewer with a physical experience of the work, playing with repetition, appropriation and absurdity to break down the hierarchies and pedagogy surrounding engagement with contemporary art.
