creative health projects and research
I've worked as an associate interdisciplinary artist on many participatory projects with a creative health focus, including projects delivered by Verd de gris arts, London Bubble and Dreaming(ing) Field Lab.
In a collaboration with StoryFutures, ISO Design, the local library & community members, I developed an immersive psychogeographical map of my home borough of Lewisham for the 3D internet as part of the nationwide StoryTrails Project (2022). The BBC Lullabies Project (2010) which I instigated and produced has been used as an international resource, and I’ve presented research at Finding A Voice 2019 (GSMD) and at the MARCH Singing and Mental Health Sandpit at Snape Maltings in 2020.
In 2023 - 2025 with support from the Arts Council (DYCP), I reimagined my arts practice and creative process in relation to chronic illness. This allowed me to explore arts and healing through a personal lens and develop new health-centred ways of working. Having practically and theoretically researched art and healing within the context of my own experience, I'm now developing a participatory practice based on this project. My aim is to deliver creative coaching workshops, multimedia artwork and a book of resources.
