Artist Profile:

Artist Profile:

I am a visual artist, writer, film-maker, and performer interested in non-consensual reality, outsidership, empathy, authenticity and absurdity.

Since 'The World is Full of Laughter' was published by Chipmunka in 2002, I have had 6 further books published, a succession of performance roles around Europe and places like The Young Vic, Trafalgar Square and The Royal Festival Hall; undertook a poetry tour and won a poetry award from Andrew Motion; directed two plays and several films, appeared on TV and radio, and have done spoken word at City Hall and Oxford University.

Themes in my practice are shedding skins and labels to see the heart behind things; challenging the concept and value of normality; making ordinary life extraordinary; flight; finding light in dark places, and insisting dreams have more substance and essence than average reality.

I have been labeled 'mad' by society. My work aims to show I make perfect sense.
