I am a queer artist and researcher working collaboratively with Katheryn Owens as greenandowens. In 2023 we completed a fully collaborative practice research PhD at the University of Plymouth, utalising a intedisciplinary performance writing practice to understand autoethnographic experiences of millennial precarity, using friendship as a method to do this. Following on from this, we are exploring human-water relationships: the body and writing, swimming, our bodies made of water, access to water and leisure, and how we work with water. Our practice is multidisciplinary and spans performance, text, sound and sculpture. 

I also research contemporary queer art and performance and have recently co-edited (with Dominic Bilton) a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Art and the Public Sphere, titled ‘Queer(ing) Art, Curation, and Collaboration’ (2024). My work has been  published in a range of peer-reviewed journals, including Art and the Public Sphere, Platform, Performance Research, and Studies in Theatre and Performance, as well as in various artist publications.

Before joining the department in 2022, I taught at Leeds Beckett University, The Institute for Study Abroad, the University of Plymouth, and Sheffield Hallam University on modules focusing on arts and social change, the body, situated practices, live art, and practice research.

Performance art, site-based practices, gender and sexuality, collaboration and co-authorship, experimental writing, practice research, performance studies, art and politics. 

Contemporary art and performance: experimental writing, watery practices, queer art and performance, millennial precarity and aesthetics, friendship, labour and economics. 

With Dr Kim Wiltshire, I co-lead the Practice Research group.
