About me
“My vision is that all scenography is run along sustainable lines, that is why I keep a hyphen between eco and scenography.”
I am an eco-scenographer, performance maker, artist and co-founder of Ecostage – helping to link sustainable practices with creativity and well being. I work across a broad spectrum of the performing arts, bringing vitality to global ecological and social themes. My eco-design remit is to repurpose objects, use surplus materials and commit to a closed-loop design process in which all componants are considered ‘cradle to cradle’. Embracing chance along the way, my work often distils into designs that move between art installations and immersive environments.
My work has been included in the UK representation of the World Stage Design Exhibition, in the Aesthetica Art Prize anthology, and in the ‘Designers Lead’ section of the Society of British Theatre Designers (SBTD) 2019 exhibition at the V&A. I am also a student of Process Orientated Psychology. I work from my Peckham Studio ‘dream palace’, where I go to ground her ideas, make models and mock ups, and use as a space for collaboration.
