My work explores imaginary realms through installations involving drawing, moving image, and sound. I am inspired by music and traditional storytelling to create artworks which welcome the viewer into playful and contemplative journeys. I am interested in the idea of the individual within a collective, and explore patterns of movement through animation and performance. Through drawing I connect with intrinsic practices of communication and visual expression, which motivates me to share ideas through process-based artworks.
