Narrative
As a multimedia artist, singer, Live Art Performer and multi disciplinary explorer her work is inspired by the nature of life.
Having followed patterns as guides she now comes to a stage in the process whereby she shapes her own mosaic. Themes of injustice, generational trauma and ancestral healing are pivotal to her role. Site specificity and storytelling is in her nature.
Weaving her own stories and song in each stroke and every note through tones of dark and light.
This work is inspired by the dove and its many meanings from love and freedom to pain and death. The song ‘La Paloma’, the most recorded Spanish song on earth, written in 1860 by the Spanish composer Sebastian Yradier is now renewed within the performance and visual imagery.
