ABOUT
My Practice:
I am interested in making work which is person centred, inclusive, co-created, and that uses multiple different art forms. I like building things collaboratively with curiosity, and I am much more interested in the process or act of making together than the actual outcome. I especially value the qualites of kindness and care in all aspects of my portfolio of projects.
My practice is centered around generating frameworks and scaffolding, that have the flexibility to be adapted to the individual needs and wishes of the people I work with.
I am comitted to creating and preserving welcoming spaces for people to come together in. A time and space where everybody can be seen and heard.
