I divide my creative output between sound pieces and my visual works, as well as the daily demands of living with Type 1 Diabetes. I work small with the physical visual work, and like the fact that sound can go out into a big space. There are some projects/ideas that take a long time to process and I find now over the time that has passed, things seemingly lost to our own historical archives regain a relevance later. At the same time I am gathering material for later if not now.  Drawing more is a current preoccupation. My current series of works called ‘Conversations Across History’ pairs historical art works that seem to speak to each other into one space.
My work in the field of soundscape goes further into the human experience, by exploring the spirit of being in a particular space or situation. I have also collaborated with several musicians, especially with my own film and compositions..These films/compositions I have made have the purpose of creating a structure to play within. Like a frame to hang other sound on, notes even. Or to set the musician off in a direction, like a meandering thought.
I am in an ongoing duo with the tenor saxophonist Sue Lynch. As well as performing together we have been recording our improvisation and will be bringing out a CD in 2025. I currently use the Ipad as my instrument. Using field recordings from my larder of sounds, I manipulate them live.
