My recent work considers the trance state, within systems of hypnosis, as a tool and site of production. In particular working with the register of the voice and the site of the script. It can take on many guises; as relay of information or procedural knowledge, as device for instruction and coercion. I am interested in locating the experience of hypnosis-narratives in objects and materials to imply hallucination without a representative, where an idea might be brought into sensing experience.

My work more often than not stems from a physical 'participation' in the content of the research, conflating the sites of encounter and production so that the two become bound together. They are continuous. In this way, I understand my work and approach to making as a series of Russian dolls that fit inside one another, a body of interlinked bearers of information.
