Teaching
Whilst maintaining a practice as a contemporary artist I also tailor and deliver programmes of learning for all ages; from large groups to one on one study, as supplements to, or aspects of curriculum. Having gained valuable experience and insight working with a wide range of groups, institutions, organisations and individuals, from single events to in house residencies of up to 6 Months, I offer on a freelance basis the planning and delivery of bespoke programmes, lectures, workshops and events that cater to the wants, hopes and needs of a wide range of requirements.
When working with individuals, groups, educational and academic institutions, I often encourage collaborative practice, working with the participants to create consolidated pieces of visual art that are ready for public or gallery exhibition. Examples of which are Tsu and You Are Here
Alongside teaching I also work as a freelance technician helping other artists to realise their ideas. This ranges from concept design and art direction to research, development and fabrication.
