ARTIST STATEMENT - 'I make reactionary art-created to ignite a genuine sense of feeling from my audience be that love,hate or simply nothing at all'

I have performed well over a hundred shows,from 2004 to the present, across the U.K as well as internationally.

My performance at a tattoo convention in India made the papers there - i was banned from performing any further shows due to the risque nature of my act! 

My work is characterized by a strong desire to push social norms and boundaries.I exist to create,i perform what i feel,whilst rejecting atypical notions of beauty and femininity.

My Skills Include-

A variety of self choreographed routines from drag strip tease to satanic inspired dances with the devil himself.
  
Fire-Eating/fakir

Angle grinding

Sideshow- Walking on  broken glass/bed of nails/stilt walking

Experienced go-go dancer/previous experience in pole and trapeze.

Art Installations-Living statue/collaborative installations with body painters and fellow creatives.
