I am trained as a linguist and translator and as an artist I currently work mainly in text and video. A fascination with the structures and relationships of language underlies my practice, which surfaces in the ungrammaticality, mistranslation and repetition of my texts and video work. My most recent work balances between research and intuition to extend my translation of words into things and to maintain a quiet resistance to clear interpretation, evoking the frustration and delight of a half-learned language.
