In our absence, can we still hold a presence?
Do we know the capabilities of our bodies?
I use performance art to realise the ability of my body, its connection with space, the relationship between object and body, and the impact my action can have upon a surface.

Blade Shoes:
Performance involved wearing boots with steel blades soldered to a steel plate on the sole of the shoe. Slowly I wore away the surface of the foam flooring until only the smallest fragments remained and the blades were bent or snapped.

Back and Forth:
Performance involved a counter weight activity in which I walked back and forth on a plank of wood, bearing rice bags attached to the end of a rope weighing 4 kg.
