I am an artist, writer and educator living in Bristol, UK.

Born in Slovenia, raised in Canada, and having lived in the UK for over a decade, my life has been shaped by experiences of change in identity, place, and ideology.

The works I present focus on drawing as an event through live-art, performance, installation, video, telematic works, the Web, and projection technology.

I am interested in how works ‘trace’ different conditions of change as an 'event'. That is to say, tracing where, when, and how persons, subjects and things can come together, live, insist, pass away––and still persist.

There are events that change each of us throughout life. ‘Structural change’ matters in so far as inequality, racism and ideology can be – as an event – worked through and overcome. For me, events have come through experiences of immigration, two lost homes, displacement from family and community, a single-parent upbringing, and economic struggle. These experiences are echoed throughout the works by way of erasure, trauma and dispossession, but also the unexpected, joyful and incalculable surprise.

The works trace different conditions, elements and behaviours that reflect struggle and change. The elements can appear as points, lines, planes, and shadows; the conditions reflect the body as something shared, between myself and others, one and many; the behaviours shaped by gravity, falling, resistance, space, time, action and decision.

The writings are used, mainly, to work through ideas, contexts and issues that cut across aesthetics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, politics, ethics and culture.
