Working in series through linked bodies of work, I circle questions of histories, temporality and embodied knowing. What is it to move through this world and make stuff? To push through accumulated materials and bend them? Probing the edge. The shifting between fingers, the moving limbs. The elusive horizon fluttering, and the thing is never done. Ranging from flat palimpsestic ‘blackboard’ paintings, draped textile installations, to sound and photographic experiments, marks and gestures loop through the work forming an expanding conversation in which identities are always forming.  To animate the work I employ the haptic, song and writing to provide a texture and methodology. The work is a space of reflection, conversation, and agency. It is a gesture in the world. A way to leave a trace.  ‘The door signifies the historical moment which colours all moments in the Diaspora’, (Dionne Brand, A Map to the Door of No Return)
