I am an award-winning creative practice researcher, artist, and filmmaker working across creative digital media, video installation, film, photography, performance, and sound. My work uses a creative ethnographic practice to explore the contemporary relevance of specific landscapes and our emotive response to them. This practice investigates our complex and contradictory relationship with the natural world, particularly in relation to post-industrial spaces as sites of memory, decay, and transformation.

My films aim to push the intersection of the visual and sonic land/seascape. This is achieved by combining multiple technologies, juxtaposing traditional film techniques, and observing the world through a slow cinematic lens. When performing, I improvise with live video editing, still frames, field recordings, creative programming, and microphones. When combined, these elements push the boundaries of cinematic experience, ethnographic presentation, and filmmaking, creating layered environments that challenge and provoke audiences.

I have produced works for organisations such as ResonanceExtra (Trace), the Being Human Festival (Bridges), and Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival (Bound iii). My work has been recognised internationally, with films such as Adlais, Splitting Stone and A Toxic Love Affair  being selected for and awarded at prestigious festivals. My film most recent film Tributary also features in the Journal of Athropological Film.
