Interview with She Performs

Read my interview with She Performs Curator Holly Daizy Broughton, where in which we discuss my most recent projects developed in Barreiro, Portugal.

I’m drawn to the idea that the viewers encounter with my work might be brief or fleeting. Through the use of an ephemeral material, the viewers experience is all the more transitory and unique, dependant on them being at that place in that time frame before the work disappears.
