About me, my work and who I work with

I am a multi award winning Digital Participation Artist, Curator and Producer using digital tools and materials to creatively engage audiences with arts and contemporary culture. My work is a fusion of digital and participatory practice, through collaborative and co-creative processes, with a focus on creating together. This involves the developing of processes that translate complex digital practice into accessible creative activities, which inspire and empower audiences in the creation of immersive experience.

I’m passionate about developing high quality digital experiences that champion the diverse creative expression of our communities. This is driven by enabling participant led co-creation and construction in immersive spaces and crafting platforms and experiences that showcase community creativity in gallery and non-traditional exhibition spaces.

My work includes exploring participatory practice through our conscious experiences of online and offline immersive creative spaces. Aligned with phenomenological philosophies and the basic intentional structure of consciousness, I’m intrigued by how our first-person perspectives of collaborative physical and online spaces can allow us to explore our individual conscious experiences and their relationship to others.

I also provide specialist sector support through the transfer of digital skills, knowledge and experience, to help participatory, learning and socially engaged organisations to realise their digital ambitions.

I currently support the collective approaches to sector development as the Specialist Interest Representative in Digital for Engage Visual Arts, as well as being a member of the East Midlands Participatory Arts Forum (EMPAF).
