Experimental designer, artist and educator. Her research practice employs the language and methods from non-visual fields and enterprises such as law, finance and administration. She uses both narrative and actuary functions as a tool for excavation. Her approach to research is presented through imagined propositions, models, maps, diagrammatics, narrative structures, texts and film concepts that seek to expand definitions; asking questions by inhabiting, destabilizing and subverting form, context, reading and strategy.
Her work has been exhibited, published and disseminated internationally; notably the Design Museum (UK) 1, Palais de Tokyo (FR) 2, The Victoria & Albert Museum (UK) 3, Venice Architecture Biennale (IT) 4, Lisbon Architecture Triennale (LX) 5 , STUK (BE) 6, Black Cinema House (US) 7, the HMKV (DE) 8, Asia Cultural Center (KR) 9, V2 (NL) 10 The Aram Gallery (UK) and FACT Liverpool (UK) 11.
