'Prayers for Roadkill'

Hello!
Sorry for being a little quiet recently, I have been deep in production mode preparing for this weeks 'Prayers for Roadkill' shoot!

Here is an update from day 3 of the shoot, where you can see some BTS goodies of us setting up the 'Live Burial' scene. 

Can't wait for you to be able to see the finished film!

Let's Talk Cruelty: Live Session, Sunday 1st August, 19:00 CEST

I've been reading Maggie Nelson's 'The Art of Cruelty' and The Care Collective's 'The Care Manifesto' which have both got me thinking about care, cruelty, and representations of violence. All of these are complex issues which run through my practice, and I would love to discuss them with you all.

Life can be cruel sometimes and I will be joining this session from Bordeaux, where I am caring for my Dad whilst he's battling a nasty case of COVID.

Cocoon, 2021

New publication just launched! http://shecancookapotatoinherhandandmakeittastelikechocolate.com/19-desktop-bio-and-about.html

Hoarding has always been a heavy topic for me so I decided to use the lightest material available to somehow contradict its weight. Aside from the connection to depression, shame and mental disorders, it is a rich subject for me t...

Welcome Nestlings, Fledglings, Juveniles and Beasts!

This week I learnt about the goat who was surgically forced to be a unicorn, and how endlings (the name for the last surviving species on the brink of extinction) have been resurrected in the form of other species, eg the bucardo who came back as a goat. All this in Elena Pasarello’s brilliant book Animals Strike Curious Poses, 2017.
