I create visual and sonic art about the crimes women carry alone. My installations confront the systems that silence them, while participatory rituals move women from private rupture toward public articulation and shared resistance. I have exhibited and presented work at Tate Britain, the ICA, Royal Festival Hall, SOAS University of London, the Luminato Festival, Oxford University, among others.

​

My research and writing focus on narcissistic systems, from family structures to global institutions, and the communicative and psychological tactics they use to evade accountability. I work through abstraction, opacity, and plausible deniability—modes of expression that resist capture and attack—to examine how these tactics converge and bombard, producing trauma as a means of silencing. I am particularly interested in forms of resistance that emerge under such conditions, including malicious compliance, irony and satire, passive aggression, greyrocking, and the formation of communities that transform isolation into collective strength.

​

Alongside my art practice, I write dark satirical works that expose the operations of transglobal corporations and supranational institutions. These projects trace how violence is concealed within offshore supply chains, unjust land grabs for tourism, extractive manufacturing in mobile phone production, and the opportunism that follows natural disasters. My first novel was a finalist for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and my work is published by Random House.

​

I have worked for over 20 years as a producer and director in film and television, living and working internationally. During this time, I also lectured at universities and art colleges in the UK and Canada.

​

I hold a PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London (2024), and MA degrees in African Art (SOAS, University of London) and Film & TV Studies (University of Westminster).
