Areas of interest
My work is largely text based and I produce what might be called conceptual art writing. I work with historically significant cultural objects, such as texts and films, to create new works that can be both poetic and political. For example, I am reconfiguring the entirety of Mary Shelley’s 1831 novel ‘Frankenstein’ into a new expanded contemporary novel and associated works, such as an album of pop songs. Or, I’ve combined words from two key feminist texts to create a series of neologisms. And I’ve paid online gig economy workers to liberate the text from Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ through anagrams and unspeakable sounds.
