Statement
I work in the medium of performance and video based installation to explore the discourse and interplay between childhood and adulthood.
My practice explores how we see our childhoods, and how ‘childhood’, as a concept, is seen by adults. It looks at addressing, not so much, what we have lost from our childhood, i.e. the fact that we are no longer children, but rather what we perceive to have lost, how we remember our childhood, how we remember the hopes and ambitions we had, and how we re-live memories, shading over some aspects and exaggerating others.
