i am a bristol-based musician and artist working across sound, collage, and print. i am inspired by xerox art and the scenes associated with it, exploiting replicating technologies and accessible materials to find new possibilities and iterations within found imagery and sound.

Cassette and book set. Images in the book were created through performance using a copier and scanner. Sounds generated during these processes were captured, processed, and recorded to cassette.

Side A of the copystates cassette. Source audio was captured from a digital photocopier using contact microphones, a handy recorder, and guitar pedals. This was then fed through an overdubbing loop.

An abstract black print of a collage on pink paper. A slightly misaligned red copy of the print is underlaid. Stencil text across the image reads "THIS BLESSED BODY".
