"I am a multidisciplinary artist working with a variety of mediums, including short stories, screenplays, poetry, painting, still and moving images. Much of my work is influenced by genealogy and the oratory tradition of passing stories from older generations to younger with further interest in the areas of dreams, surrealism and deliberate travel as the journey rather than a means to the end.

This residency will be used to develop the work I have started and discover new approaches to my practice by researching my family history, finding experimental ways of exploring intergenerational similarities and differences across continents and cultures."
