Hi, thanks for looking at this in 2025. I create performative sculptures and installations that explore sound, technology, and human interaction. My work often involves building custom instruments and devices that combine hand-crafted materials with digital systems.
I am a Lecturer in Fine Art and Digital Creativity at Liverpool Hope University, where my teaching and research focus on experimental approaches to sound, interactivity, and creative coding.
In 2006 I was nominated for the Beck’s Futures Prize, and the following year I held an artist residency at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá. I received the Berwick Gymnasium Fellowship in 2008, and in 2013 my work was presented in a solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, USA.
I am also a founding member of Owl Project, an art group known for its distinctive wooden musical and sculptural instruments. Owl Project received the Urbis Best of Manchester Award (2009) and launched ~Flow in Newcastle (2012), a large-scale public artwork that attracted over 50,000 visitors. We have exhibited and performed internationally, including at Les Urbaines Festival (Lausanne), SARC (Belfast), Lydgalleriet (Bergen), and Bildmuseet (Umeå).
In 2020 I completed a practice-led PhD at Oxford Brookes University for my project Playing Code. Recent works include Parallel Voices (The Lowry) and Drawing Wave Forms (Capstone Theatre, Liverpool, 2022), part of the Xenakis centenary celebrations. My instrument L’UPIC Ludique was presented at NIME 2024 (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
