My work is an attempt to draw links between our everyday experiences, and the social, political and cultural forces that shape our lives. I believe that each is essential to the understanding of the other. I am interested in who makes work, how, why, for whom, and why that matters. I explore collective processes, and their value for individual and collective growth and change. I am interested in what happens when we make work together; ways of achieving things that none of us could alone. Art making is a form of collective dreaming, if we let it.

2013
Experimental documentary about the role of arts in social change, made during a groundbreaking two-year project researching the impact of arts participation in Peterborough, UK. Featuring interviews with local and international artists, and people who took part in arts projects across the city.
The film was made in collaboration with participants, who chose locations that had personal and creative meaning for them. I recorded longform unstructured interviews with participants, and processed the film with them by hand in Peterborough.
