QiGong and Tui-Na
Qi gong, Tui- Na, Chinese medicine and eastern philosophies underpin my work. Tui -Na, a massage practise, translates as 'Push-Grasp'. This is also the work of an artist. Pushing and grasping to bring something into being.
Practising, understanding and teaching energy and body work has been the biggest influence on my art career. I am at a beautiful point in my life where my creative and healing art practises are integrating into the art work.
Sound & Gong Healing
Sound work is an increasingly important part of my work. I am developing solo and collaborative works, performance and interactive pieces with sound elements.
Community Engagement
I am a joint founder of Guisborough Arts, a local organisation based on the simple premise of 'access to the arts for everyone'. www.guisborougharts.org.uk
