Over the past two years I have dedicated my working practice to Research in Educational Practices and leading a full time Programme of Public Art engagement.
I focus on inclusion, reaching people not usually reached by the arts and developing key social media strategies to provoke, evoke, tempt and at times agitate rapid change. I aim to bring an awareness to the investment potential of the benefits of including artists in the processes of government, planning and many day to day actions of everyday life. I am deeply driven to see artists from all corners of the globe uniting and creating a series of hybrid practices, innovative spaces for conversation enabling radical evolutionary thought patterns to ignite a global shift towards a new standard of humanity.
