Research Interests

My texts, videos, performances and domestic objects engage the friction between visual art and writing; expression and experience; artwork and everyday life. Against a background in language and translation, I apply textual strategies of multilingualism, translation and repetition to non-textual artifacts, creating quietened or 'flattened' works that draw attention to their own artifice.
