Biog
I'm a feminist activist, artist, photographer and writer living in London.
My photography's been sponsored by ILFORD PHOTO and my exhibition at Ladyfest London '08 was chosen as that week's hot pick by DIVA. I've shown my work at galleries, universities, schools and squats including Islington Arts Factory, Shoreditch Town Hall with the Homeless Gallery as part of Photomonth 08, Resistance Gallery, Aberdeen University, RampART, Bethnal Green Working Men's Club (as part of a Red Room event), SOAS, Lambeth Women's Project and The Original Gallery at Hornsey Library.
The work and my articles have been published in feminist publications including the International Feminist Journal of Politics (published by Routledge), Uplift, Trespass, Lesbilicious.com, the F-word and An Schlage.
I've talked in schools, galleries and universities about my work including alongside sessions on sexual violence and pornography by Rape Crisis. From these sessions came a 'zine called 'At Sea with Sexists' which is a quick guide for dealing with sexists. The 'zine has been catalogued by the British Library, Feminist Library and LCC and has been stocked by independent bookshops like Freedom Press, Housmans and 56a.
I studied at Warwick University and later took practical tutorials in portrait photography with Peter Cattrell at Central St Martins. Since then I've worked with the social documentary photographer Larry Herman. And in 2009 took part in CRASH's Contingency with the Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination. Last year I also worked with other artists to found a group called FemAdLib Kolektiv: a space for explicitly feminist art. We were commissioned to perform a city intervention as part of the Two Degrees festival sponsored by Arts Admin. We also organised live music, performance and feminist art film showings.
In times past I earned a living in the private and public sectors as - amongst other things - a cashier, a farmworker, a barmaid and an arts and science news writer and press officer. My time working as a volunteer on The National Domestic Violence Helpline run by Refuge was an important influence in my understanding of violence being part of a system of power and control.
I'm a member of IRIS: an internationally focused research resource dedicated to promoting the work of women photographers, and the Four Corners business development programme for photographers - sponsored by the Arts Council.
