I’m an artist practicing in Naarm (Melbourne). My improvisational practice works cyclically between sound, sculptural-spatial, and writing processes. The works that I make focus on intersections between embodied listening and forming practices, including an interest in queer practices, forces of habit, and affect.

I hold a BFA Honours (2007-10) and MFA (2012) from the Victorian College of the Arts; and a PhD from Monash University, Fine Art (2018-22). I am a Lecturer at Monash University Fine Art, and also currently co-direct Run Artist Run (with Yongping Ren), a studio residency space in Docklands.  


I also participate in Tributaries collective and the collaborative project Lèlè.
