My practice addresses two related themes: the experience of Diaspora and, migration, dislocation and war. I am motivated by a lifetime of being between cultures through family and personal migration.

I am interested in the liminal spaces generated by being displaced or dislocated: by what exists between identities, between nationalities, between languages, between continents. By how history shapes this. 

My work also addresses the meaning and consequences of war and imperialism in history and now.  I am interested in the implications: trauma, memory, nationhood, identity, for both the personal and public perceptions of war and colonialism. I explore how these and the war machine permeate culture, how it is passed through generations, how it affects our identity and sense of place.

My work is often ironic and irreverent or has a sense dislocation and uncertainty that opens up a space to the irrational and other possibilities.  Across my practice, I use a range of media: video, drawing, animation, sound, digital still image, text and objects from a range of materials: soap, wax, insulating foam, manufactured miniatures.

I also programme a small contemporary art gallery called twenty+3 projects in the front room of my house in Manchester. It has a mandate to show international, non-commercial, site specific or performative work.
