This is a living exhibition of work in progress, as artist-in-residence for the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project ‘Clean Break: Women, Theatre, Organisation and The Criminal Justice System’. The umbrella title for the research and public engagement activities that are coming from this project is Women/Theatre/Justice. wtj is interdisciplinary and led by academics in theatre and performance studies and work and employment relations, in partnership with Clean Break theatre company.

'...'SEE THE WORD' AND CREATE A REALITY FOR THE SCENE.'

The project's conversations and findings present data where all kinds of voice are seen to be integral to making change. The way WTJ and Clean Break work has allowed me to identify different registers of these voices and join spatial realms that travel back and forth between the individual and communal, each entwined in the real and imagined.

Spoken, written and semiotic language has grown into the work to at times directly state intent. Other uses reflect a deeper mode of thought where image and text interweave to more subtly share the authorial voice.

these responses then are an extension of the project, a tool to inform other people’s awareness of the research. Link to my WTJ gallery.

this site will see pieces come or go or re-worked throughout the residency.
