Artist, writer, curator and researcher.
Creating new stories from old, my work aims to make visible feelings about loss and survival and the different ways in which histories and memories are embedded in liminal spaces or collections of objects. Often finding starting points in the tales and fragmented memories passed down by different generations the work takes the form of installations, texts, drawings and videos. These usually explore the complex relationships between women, and my own fractured identity.
Recently I have completed work on more collaborative projects and commissions, including work in a Dermatology Research Centre in Salford (University of Manchester). Researching the tension that arises when personal images are displayed in a public place is part of the working process and I have spent many years working within art galleries, museums and archives.
Exhibitions in the UK and Europe, include at Cornerhouse Manchester, Kultur Bunker Cologne, The University of Manchester and The Pankhurst Centre, UK.
