“I map infinitely intricate worlds of (autistic) consciousness…”
As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore processes of neurodivergent sensemaking.
As a child I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and moved from my birthplace of Sardinia to the UK. During this time my mother told me that my brain "fails to maintain (synaptic) bridges," which shaped my interest in invisible forms of disabled communication and integration.
My work provides the space and rhythm needed to decompress sensory overwhelm. Each piece embodies a culmination of moments, hundreds of sittings, the cognitive search for coherence. I call these projects "pathways," which often connect and disconnect from one another, similar to how neurons work in the brain.
I use drawing, video, embroidery, costume, sound, and performance to challenge the pathologization of common traits and habits of neurodivergent people. Re-presenting embodied self-stimulatory behaviour (stimming), hyperfixation (monotropic attention tunnels), echolalia etc., as a tools for exploring the metaphysical, relational/processes of vibration, duration, and repetition.
PATHWAYS:
My art works are listed by Platform-A Gallery under Associate Artist, and I have exhibited my work nationally, with some of my work now held in private collections.
