About

I am a multi-disciplinary artist interested in rebellion and the affects of labour on both bodies and emotions, particularly in relation to beings in precarious positions in society.

Using a range of experimental media including videos, interventions, instructions, and choreographies, my work asks questions and experiments with answers through propositional works, often activated by others. A variety of participant-centred methodologies are employed to understand more fully, feel more connected, and do differently.

I have an MA from University College London (2022) and a BA from Manchester Metropolitan University (2009).

Studio Tej is an artist-architect duo I co-founded with Kathryn Timmins: we explore small-scale urban interventions to promote interaction with public space (2010-present).
