SlipStream is a site-responsive artwork that explores the artists shared experiences of bisexuality. It presents a whimsical, sugary, fluid landscape composed from images of the existing art, images and graffiti on the tunnel walls. It aims to encourage feelings of play and free expression that welcome you into an alternate world. The landscape is populated by characters that signify different types of queer expression - from hiding and masking, to being out, loud and proud - and were inspired by some of the childrens paintings that are in this tunnel space already. They are playful interpretations of queer bodies that represent the different feelings that arise from coming out. SlipStream aims to provide an avenue for audiences unfamiliar with queer culture to build awareness about LGBTQIA+ experiences in a celebratory and interactive environment that pays homage to the space behind this temporary artwork

 Exploring ways digital and emerging technologies can be incorporated within performance, often to advance dialogues relating to disability. The results have involved computer generated imagery, 3D printed sculpture, performance visualisations and virtual reality experiences.  Heavy Light involved working with each dancer to create avatars of themselves. With a variety of natural traits applied to their bodies, these characters express the thrills and tensions of the stage, the importance of visibility or the weight of self-confrontation. The result is a series of bodies that interact in ambiguous ways, encouraging the viewer to insert their own narratives.

The Parthenon Marbles have been held in the Duveen Gallery of the British Museum since 1816. While Greece was under Ottoman occupation, Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and ‘sincere friend’ of Ottoman rulers, originally removed portions of the Parthenon frieze, metopes and other significant artefacts from the Athenian Acropolis as English ambassador. The moral and legal justifications for such actions have been the subject of ongoing controversy. And though there is growing support for the return of the marbles to their original home in Athens even among the English population, the actualisation of this vision seems as distant as it has ever been.
