My performance, live art and video works use autobiography as content and explore intimacy/ relationship between self and others.
My works are autobiographical and re-enact/ re-present episodes from lived experience with the aim of making the personal political and the singular, mutual. I am particularly interested in female sexuality and its expressions beyond the limits of convention.
