I am a sculptor working with music, sound and noise. My interests lie in the relationship between the physical and spatial attributes of sounding objects, musical instruments and audio technologies and their acoustic properties or timbral characteristics. I use processes of mechanisation and automation to ensure that control of the resultant music is as contingent upon aleatoric sonic phenomena as on my design of the system. I borrow strategies from bricolage, process music, kinetic sculpture and the extended technique of free improvisation. My installations employ space as a physical and acoustic substance in order to provoke the audience into a durational and subjective encounter with the work. My performances employ unpredictable processes and systems to ensure that my position in relation to the sounds is primarily as a listener.

I am currently a Research Fellow at the Sound Art Research Unit of Oxford Brookes University. I studied sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art before completing a Masters in Time-Based Arts Practices at Dartington College of Arts. In the last three years I have exhibited and performed extensively across the UK and Europe. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Elevator Gallery (London) and Permanent Gallery (Brighton) and performances at ArtEx Sonora (MACUF, La Coruña), and All Around You (Arnolfini, Bristol). I am also one-half of the mechanical rock band Human Separation, alongside Matthew Appleby.
