My final module project was an installation piece called "Remembrance of day-dreams" that sought to connect my childhood bedroom with the person I am today.
My practice as a multidisciplinary artist centres around the exploration of memory, consciousness, and the creation of personal narratives. I utilize photography, performance, and text to delve into the psychological underpinnings of our experiences and the stories we tell ourselves.

My background in acting and theatre directing informs my approach to creating immersive installations that aim to uncover the myriad meanings and resonances inherent in liminal spaces. Through a phenomenological approach, I examine the ways in which we relate to ourselves, our environment, and our history, always striving to create a unique and evocative presence within my work.

By exploring the formation of identity, the interplay between the internal and external worlds, and the poetic narratives that emerge from the clash of memory and consciousness, I invite viewers to engage with their own experiences and perceptions in new and profound ways. With a Chekhovian sense of intimacy and public presence, my work challenges us all to re-examine our understanding of self and the world around us.

    I would really like to hear more about the connection between the you of now and your childhood bedroom. This is really opening up memories - visually, emotionally and atmospherically.

    This is not a mystical work, but very realistically. The guy looks like what is happening behind the wall. Do you publish yourself as an interesting, man in motion, do you play? An interesting photograph tells us a story and forces the recipient to think about.

As a mature woman my work is the result of frustrations in relation to others’ expectations and misconceptions of me. Taking up space, unapologetically, has allowed a performative version of myself to emerge. I am interested in this commitment to performativity by mature women on social media sites. My images are made quickly and with materials and props that are to hand. The resulting photographs include filters and digitally drawn elements that build a persona, and my working process can be seen as a playground for the exploration of potential irreverent storytelling, both real and imagined. The swirling farrago of sensations that is menopause slaps you in the face, hard, and lets you know, unequivocally, that you are on a one-way street with no turning circle at the end of it. So, having less life ahead of me than there is behind compels my heels to dig into the earth so that the dizzying swiftness with which I am travelling along this one-way street, towards the exit from which th

I am a London based photographer, artist and storyteller of Scotish - Iranian parentage. I explore transformation, through intuative self portraiture and embodied performance. I work with with notions of identity using environments which reflect my phycological, physical or emotional landscape. Using photo montage, moving image and performance in my self portrait process, which began in 1998. As a photographer and burns survivor, my self portrait process boosts my welbeing emotionally and physically. This liberating spiritual process enables me to embody and interpret potent feelings and themes I feel trapped, which I cannot seem to be express through words. Through the repetion (and recordings) of often slight, slow, intuitive movements, I begin to experince another relationship to my self and stories. The process enables me to tune in to my feelings and make contact with layers of trauma within my body. In 2017 I began a dance based embodied movement practice. This practice enabled m

The interests within my practice at large lie with portrayals of the body and how we heal through and with them. This has often been framed within the female body and it’s mis/treatment within healthcare settings.Using textiles and sculptural techniques, the nature of performance and self-portrayal comes through in the form of costume creation. The costume allows for sculptural elements to overtake the human form and in the context of my own practice, takes the internal and visualises it on the external. Thinking through the work as a visual form and way of healing, textile coverings allow the self-portrayal to embody something beyond the human form, a monstrous re-imagining of the self. For me, the performative aspect comes through within the use of video as documentation of the wearing of the costume. The creatures created exist within these videos as a way to create a barrier between the self and the audience, while creating an intimacy between the costume and its wearer that gener
