My interest in this area of creation is the interplay between costume, and what can be worn and performance/ play with the costume or material. How does one inform the other? How does the item worn influence the performance and in tern how does the performance influence and change the item? It might be that throughout the performance parts of the costume change, disintegrate or fall off. How does the performer or wearer play with these changes, how can they interact. Some items used might be incredibly simple for example the use of a torn parachute to create new bodies and sculptural spaces in which to play. Or might be something smaller and specific, for example the use of a magnifying glass to change the scale and shape of existing features of the body.

My interest and research in wearable sculpture and costume centers on costume and masked traditions, the transformation of the body, how costume can make the performer more than human and gives a portal of connection to wider, poetic, more than human territory.
