I am a multidisciplinary artist and writer working with drawing, poetry, introspective theater, performance art and writing. I am interested in areas of research engaged with perception and identity; with all the processes, discourses and practices that affect the way we see ourselves and others. This touches on ecological, political and cultural issues; on how reality is categorized and consequently who and what is accepted and who and what is excluded. My objective is to problematize fixed and singular understandings of reality, to destabilize their dividing boundaries and discriminating practices. Art has this wonderful ability to manifest, give voice and empower the intangible, the invisible and the marginalized.
I hold a PhD (2008-2014) in performance studies (Royal Holloway University) with a thesis focused on the notion of the numinous in contemporary performance/live art practices; an MA (2004-2006) in Communication Art and Design (Royal College of Art and Design, London) with a thesis on the work of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the theatricality of his psychomagic practices; and a First Class Honours degree (1992-1996) in Fine Art (Academy of Fine Art, Rome).
