My creative projects form a laboratory for practice, experimentation and arts-based research. For over fifteen years, with periods of suspension and return, I have moved across photography, moving image, writing, works on paper, dance and therapeutic art processes, following the medium that best served the question I was trying to explore.
I have never fully settled into one form, perhaps because no single medium seems able to contain the whole enquiry. Photography offers stillness and attention; moving image brings rhythm, sequence and narrative; drawing and painting open a more direct route to the unconscious; dance and music connect thought to the body; art-therapy processes reveal how image, gesture and material can surface trauma, false beliefs, hidden patterns and non-verbal knowledge.
This page therefore represents my own creative, contemplative and psychological practice. It is where the theoretical enquiry becomes lived experience: a way of processing emotion, exploring the unconscious, cultivating attention, sustaining mental health and transforming experience into form.
I think everyone should have some kind of creative practice — not necessarily as a profession, but as a private, sustaining space where life can be metabolised, shaped and reimagined. The works gathered here are not presented as a fixed artistic identity, but as traces of an ongoing search: how image, story, movement, sound, gesture, material and imagination can reveal what is hidden, make visible what is difficult to articulate, and help transform experience into meaning.
HICAT
The HICAT works shown here are selected visual traces from a broader art-therapy training process that also included embodied, performative and relational practices. I include them because they demonstrate art’s therapeutic capacity to access trauma, unconscious material, internalised beliefs and non-verbal forms of knowledge.
