Bio


My current focus on film follows a host of ideas around personal narratives that I explored in my artistic practice over the years. The body at rest and in motion, and the narratives which inform our sense of embodiment are the main areas of research in my work.

Over the past few years also I have been preoccupied with the idea of potential space which was first developed in a psychoanalytic context by Donald W. Winnicott.
