I am a sound and digital media artist based in Coventry. I work with a variety of technologies and digital medium to create interactive installations and games. The relationship between physical form and digital code of how the abstract imperceptible world combines with the senses is something that fascinates me and drives my work. Digital art for me is about combining code and aesthetics with engagement and enjoyment through a physical sense.
My work has spanned music and sound production, interactive and digital art installations, iOS development, mobile and locative based augmented experiences and electronic instrument creation. I work collaboratively with other artists to combine disciplines to further broaden my artistic development.
My past clients include traditional gallery contexts (touch installation - The Public), heritage sites (interactive sound installation - York Minster), public sector organisations (interactive interface and installation - Manchester Children’s Hospital), UK arts organisations (MAC, Mercurial Arts, Imagine Theatre) and non-traditional (Void Spaces in Leicester) along with international venues such as Warsaw Zachenta National Art Gallery in Poland.
I also work extensively with young people through educational programmes either within school or as part of workshops to provide extended learning. Schools such as Hadley Learning Centre (HLC) were enthused and ambitious to become the leading school in the region through their innovate use of having artistic practitioners lead ground breaking and challenging workshops for their pupils. I received an Arts Council award for my work within HLC.
All of my clients were keen to widen audience participation and to test new business models by using digital and social media to engage. Some of my commissions increased visitor footfall while others encouraged repeated visitors as well as exciting new audiences.
