About my work

I am currently focussing on creative writing and Kathak dance in which I have been training for the past three years. I also work part-time as an events organiser and volunteer on countryside projects. These practices help me grow as an artist and develop language to express my interconnectedness with the rhythm of the natural world and other people. Previously, I worked with photography and video and was involved with exhibitions and residencies. Since 2004 I have been an artist with the Live Art Garden Initiative.
