Maggs beneath the Covers, Maggs Bros. Booksellers London 21 Sept - 21 Dec 2012

In Praise of Shadows 

A sculptural installation commissioned for the stairwell of Maggs Bros. Mayfair.

Inspired by 'Unetsu -The Egg Stands Out of Curiosity' by Sankai Juku Butoh company. 
A performance photography title in the Japanese Photography and Design department.

"I am interested in how a book might leave a visual trace, or imprint, on the building as it does upon the mind of the reader. My making is greatly inspired by my reading and this project at Maggs offers a rare chance to produce a piece which so strongly connects with my practice."

Group Show

Performance Re-enactment Society's recent commission:
I worked with dance artist Laura Dannequin on 'Group Show'. We focused our research around sculptural works documented in the Arnolfini archives and devised new live work in direct response to these materials. 'Group Show' was presented in the Arnolfini Galleries during the  Performing Documents: Remake programme.

After Richard Hughes 'Love Seat'

The sculptural work 'Love Seat' was first exhibited at Arnolfini in Becks Futures 2006. Our 2012 'cover' was created with photographer Carl Newland and dance artist Laura Dannequin in Arnolfini's Dark Studio during our early research.
