Intrigued by social interaction and the interplay between chance and control, their practice delves into how physical computing ideas can be harnessed to facilitate accessible environments for human-tech-human co-creation.
Driven by a belief in the power of play and collaborative spaces, they aim to apply creative technologies as impactful co-facilitators in forming authentic participatory environments, deepening connection to ourselves, one another and our surroundings.
They are currently an Artist in Residence at Pervasive Media Studio and alongside studio practice, they facilitate workshops exploring interactivity utilising playful physical computing ideas.
They have worked with organisations across the East including Collusion, Anglia Ruskin University, DanceEast, Magic Acorns, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Ipswich Museums, Young Norfolk Arts, Out There Arts, Time & Tide Museum, Tech Art Fest & Suffolk Libraries.
