When I paint murals I realised there is a performance in it. People would stand and observe your every action. It was mesmerising to watch a street-artist create their magic and battle with the wall. So I wanted to create a richer experience….
This is where I began to develop my practice and explored with live-art performances. I began exploring how my art could work in theatrical spaces where I combine my visuals with music and spoken narratives overlaid.
My performances in theatres turned into full-on theatrical shows where the spray-painter became a performer.
