Experimental Spatial Capture
Dynamic + Immersive Storytelling




ABOUT

I am an artist, researcher, and senior lecturer in transmedia storytelling. I have experience in public-facing live projects and facilitation of practice research within cultural spaces, working with stakeholders, arts councils, and local communities.

My practice explores transmedia storytelling as an emerging practice within heritage, visual communication, and interaction design disciplines. My interests centre on the interstices between computation, instrumentality, and human experience.
The application of remote sensing techniques fosters a relationship with virtual environments that embrace indeterminacy over exact representation. Instead, they are investigated as spatial-critical mediums that reveal hidden narratives and reconstruct collective memory.

Female Fighters




         Female Fighters 2016 

‘Female Fighters’ documents the personal experiences of 2015’s highest-ranking professional female mixed martial artists, exploring themes of strength, trauma, and identity. This project challenges the media enframing of the female form by highlighting physical and emotional resilience. By delving into their stories, the work challenges social constructs and traditional representations of femininity, celebrating the power and agency of women in a once male-dominated sport. Through provocative imagery and underrepresented narratives, 'Female Fighters' offers a deeper understanding of the unique identities of these remarkable athletes.
