I work within the tradition of performative video, often depicting myself in some unresolved narrative of existential precariousness. My work operates in the gap between self-portraiture, fiction and document to draw audiencesí attention to the artifice of screen language. Exhibiting in festivals, galleries and live performance I utilise humour and a variety of self-reflexive devices to complicate the relationship between artist, representation and viewer. In this sense the technology of video is both subject and medium for my work, which gives critical expression to the complexity of everyday screen-mediated experience. Literalised through these encounters with screen technology my practice addresses the fragility, mutability and multiplicity of contemporary identity.

In recent years my work has been in group showís at Te Tuhi Centre for The Arts, New Zealand, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, in the US at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of New Art, Detroit and Art in General in New York, Sparwasser HQ, the Interface festival and Hamburger Bahnof in Berlin; Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, in the UK at Norwich Gallery and Bristolís FACT, the Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, Alternative Space LOOP, Seoul as well as Gallery Minami, Tokyo Wonder Site, and Remo Gallery in Japan. In the last 12 months I have also had solo shows at the Centre for Contemporary Photography and Adelaideís Experimental Art Foundation and the Chulalongkorn Art Centre in Bangkok. In 2008 I will travel to Europe for a solo exhibition at CAMAC in rural France and a residency in Finland as well as taking part in group shows in Melbourne & Sydney. I have been selected for international artist residencies by Asialink and the Australia Council which has also funded me for the creation of work as has Arts Victoria. I am actively involved in my community; I was a committee member at West Space Artist-Run organization between 2000 and 2004 and Iíve also undertaken committee work for numerous art organizations including Gertrude Contemporary Art Space, The Abbotsford Convent and Arts Victoria. My art practice is informed by my work as a senior lecturer in Video Art for the School of Art at RMIT University in Melbourne.
