I am an artist bridging art, science and the environment, using body-based practices, the moving image, photography, bookbinding and interactive technologies.

I am also co-artistic director with James Cunningham of Igneous, a multi-arts organisation founded in 1997. Igneous interests lie in process, interaction, diversity, and challenging values.

During an Australia Council Fellowship and a Copeland Fellowship in USA, I initiated the online platform Waterwheel, nominated for international Ars Electronica Award 2013 and Digital Communities. Waterwheel brought together 1,500+ artists, scientists, activists & youth from 34 countries and 81 locations, focusing on water issues (2010-2016).

What is important to me now:
- Making art that voices people's concerns and global issues (focus on water, refugees and asylum-seekers, and women), and presenting in significant public venues and contexts
- Deepening audience engagement with various environments and technologies (apps & interactives)
- Collaborating with/working under inspirational people and organisations
