Fascinated by submergence and the concept of 'Water Consciousness', within my practice I seek to explore the depths of our relationship with water. In its nature my work is two-fold: as a teacher and as an artist. Over the last decade I have developed Waterbody, a unique approach to being in water, teaching people how to connect with it and use their experiences in a meditative way. Alongside this, I have worked as an underwater movement artist and director on a variety of artistic projects with dancers, choreographers, filmmakers and photographers.

I formerly trained as a fine art textile artist at Goldsmiths’ College, London, and exhibited photographic and textile based work around the UK after graduating. Intrigued by early photography, the making of period clothing, time, movement and consciousness engagement, these subjects continue to inspire my work both in and out of the water. Originally conceived as an idea for a short film, The Fear of Falling is a culmination of fifteen years of ideas and exploration around these themes.

My work in the water has been featured on Radio 4’s Women’s Hour, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Time Out and Zest Magazine and I have written and published articles on different aspects of the subject. Moving away from the notion that being in the water simply equals swimming, my long-term intention within my practice is to present us with a greater appreciation of our immense connection with water and invite new avenues of understanding within this field.
