I have been working as an artist since 2003, as one half of the collaborative duo LOW PROFILE (with Hannah Rose).

We’re interested in people, and especially the role of community, individuals and the collective. We spend time carefully shaping our audience’s experiences, putting them at the centre of our work.

Our work is informed by, and often made in response to, specific contexts, situations and invitations – shifting in scale and medium as needed.
