 Tell Me a StoryThis was my interactive Story Teepee for the Arts Festival, passers by were invited to come inside the teepee and tell the shaman 'Bin Man' a story, which was recorded by a video camera in Bin Mans mouth. |  Tell Me a StoryThe Story Teepee was a place to share stories of strength |  Tell Me a Story"Come inside, share something, be part of our story" |

 Tell me a StoryThe Shaman 'Bin Man' is the keeper of stories and the sharer of strength. War paint was offered to the participants as they left the space as a gift and symbol of their courage to take forwards on their journey. |  Tell Me a StoryThe view as you look up towards the sky from inside the space. |  Tell Me a StoryMy painting journey, a visual story of me finding my strength and the spirit animals that guided my journey. |
 Tell Me a StoryMy painting journey was positioned around the edges of the teepee walls for my audience to view before sitting down to tell their own story of a time when they felt strong. |  Tell Me a StoryBin Man stood strong at the back of the teepee waiting for participants to share a story with him. |  Tell Me a StoryBin Man said " Welcome, feel free to have a look around, take a seat if you wish. My name is Bin Man, guardian of stories and sharer of strength. Please tell me of a time when you've been super strong. In return I grant you forever strength and magical war paint as you leave the teepee. |
I like to create spaces for stories to unfold. Places for atmosphere and magic to surface, allowing the spirit of the work, space to breathe.
In the works below I was exploring the Divine Feminine, inspired by the idea of the goddess, and the empowered journey through the sacred home of the female body.
I began to explore these concepts through performance. In connecting to the sacred vessel of the body, I was able to journey intuitively, allowing my performance to express the ephemeral, through the traces and marks I left behind via my costumes.
On our human journey through this ever polarised world we can loose sight of the beauty of the ephemeral; the ever changing, flow of life that spills over the edges, making our marks in the simple act of being.
