I am an interdisciplinary artist, working across performance & time-based media, writing, curating & design. ​ ​ These seemingly disparate areas of my practice are connected through a fascination of making & creating spaces, demolition & undoing of structures, both psychologically, socially & physically. ​ I am interested in the synthesis and friction between gender constructs, capitalist power structures, ecology & permaculture. My practice explores the interconnections of these through a fiercely political body & heart, rooted in the land and deep listening to people & communities. ​ Since 2022 I have been collaborating with Isabel Pina Ferreira as 'Fiorino & Ferriera'. Together we make sculpture & installation works rooted in site specificity & peoples relation to the land. We are interested in working with natural & found materials, collective making and community action. Outside of our collaborative & independent arts practices we Co-Direct ‘Cosmic-Constructions’ a sustainable building company, that also provides community workshops & learning experiences.
