Working across video, sound and installation my practice explores forms of subjective and systemic instability under contemporary sociopolitical and environmental conditions. Taking systems of abstraction as a focal point (labour, the economy and technology) I explore the ways in which these systems destabilise bodies, the body politic and material/social relations, considering the networked and multilayered ways in which instability resonates. More recently my work has encompassed strategies and materials of defence, looking at the technologies and politics of prevention and how these intersect with performances of gender. Leaning into the disorientating contemporary moment, my work seeks to repurpose instability as a state of potential.
