I am a creative researcher and dog mother who is living, working and
practising in Glasgow.
My creative research practice is rooted in challenging and unpicking alienating
and hegemonic political, social and cultural narratives, rendered as normative
by global capitalism.
I am particularly interested in psychogeography, spiritual ecology, and
interconnectivity as eco-feminist practices that make-towards reparative modalities
for states of stagnation and inertia as inherent in our mass eco-cide.
I like to situate myself-as-creative-researcher within the axis of language and rhetoric,
asking: how do things come to be, why, and for whom?
Drawing, collage, sewing, writing and photography are starting points that vary in
physical scale and conceptual magnitude, often transforming numerous times
into textile installation, sound works, film collages, and sculptural play. These
points are a constellation of creative research, entangling and overlapping to
inform acts of generating and situating material and collective knowledge/s.
I am founder of a fledgling online library called MUCK (Must Use Critical Knowledge),
which exists to support and platform critical art writing.
