Since August 2017 I have been working collaboratively on projects with Victor Ruiz-Colomer, between Barcelona, London and Berlin.
In July 2015 I co-founded an arts space in South London called Limbo (limbolimbolimbo.com) with Victor Ruiz-Colomer, Charlotte Lindsey Cook and Imogen Stanley, which I was directly involved in until November 2016, and is still rolling inbetween a group which often changes shape.
I have held various assistant roles since 2013 for artists including Jordi Colomer, Jesse Darling, Katie Patterson, Bruce Mclean, Sarah Boulton, Tai Shani, Furmaan Ahmed; and technician roles since 2014 in London at Blaine Southern, ICA, Battersea Art Centre and ArtsDepot Theatre, and since 2020 in Berlin at Tanya Leighton and Gregor Podnar.
