I play in the overlapping spaces of design, art, and community. I approach all my work as an exercise in storytelling, and researching things beyond their physical or temporal bounds. Collaboration and collective making enrich the self and are centred in my work. Play is the heart of my practice – an endeavour toward seeing with a child’s eye, tracing lines and living inside them.

︎ Participatory art & collaboration
‘movimiento intercambio’ /2024

This workshop invited participants to exchange steps, gestures and postures, responding to improvised sonic or visual stimuli with somatic movement. The sessions investigated the dualities of consent-negation, unity-division, tension-release, and public-private, building a shared space of present consciousness and instinctive playfulness.

‘Murmuration: Sculpture Sundays’ /2023–24

I worked with artist & educator Coral Brookes in her playful and supportive programme for those who wish to explore sustainable sculptural processes. Hosted at Crownpoint Studios, facilitated by Coral Brookes. /@coral.brookes

‘1, 2, 3 — (하나, 둘, 셋 / egy, kettő, három)’ /2023

With guest artist Jiyoon Lee, we developed a workshop investigating the relationship between body, language, and rhythm. The session explored the universal language of gestures and sounds through rhythmic exercises, mark-making and traditional dance techniques. Hosted at the Gallery of Modern Art, curated by the GoMA Youth Group. /@goma.yg

‘A Room of One’s Own: What can a room be and become?’ /2023

A visual-making workshop for Chinese women on home space and transitional objects, female body symbols and personal narratives. Hosted at the New Glasgow Society, curated by Yanni Gai. /@aro_omofonesown

‘a-drift-a-shore’ /2022–ongoing

Workshops for people who have experienced migration, investigating ways of storytelling through the metaphor of a drift seed. Participants engaged in creative writing, sculptural building, and collective map-making, revealing personal stories as a form of introspection and healing. The project aimed to open a dialogue on the complexities of migration and diasporic experiences, amplifying historically marginalized voices. Sessions took place at the Glasgow School of Art, the Garnethill Multicultural Centre, the Maryhill Integration Network, and MILK between autumn 2022 and spring 2023.
