I take pleasure in making physical things. My making practice stems from a desire to create a specific effect, function, reaction or interaction in relation to my performances and public engagement.

My skills have grown from what I need to make and so my skills develop on a “need to know basis”, learning new skills or processes as I need to.

I enjoy making things which move, are functional, solve a problem or a need. I have no formal training in making or engineering so consider myself a DIY engineer, learning as I go by observation, problem solving, trial and error.

I like working with reclaimed materials and found objects, where ever possible I try to reuse and give materials a second life.

For my own projects I prefer to make things in a way that you can see how they work as I find this visually pleasing and interesting to look at, often resulting in Heath Robinson-esque looking contraptions.

Over the years I have been commissioned to make various things for other performers, companies and arts organisations. You can see the things I’ve made here.

If you have something you need making or just need some advice please feel free to get in touch!
