Profile
I am a performance artist, currently living in Central Lincoln. I am interested in exploring the human condition, using improvised collaboration in order to convey the concept in hand. I am also a musician and a writer, and have consequently found the use of narrative as a strong influence to my visual work. My current concerns are involving the environment, and the changes for a better one being both a political and cultural battle.
