Artist talk for the Open College of the Arts

On 14 April 2026 I gave an online artist’s talk for the Open College of the Arts about Performance Fingerprints, my work with musicians.

I talked about how it started, with experiments in drawing that responds to sound, and how it changed once I began working with performers. The musicians end up reacting to the drawing too. Over time the drawing system has become something I play with them, like another instrument in the group.

My main point was that working with other people changes the work. It changes the pace, and it means I’m not the only one making decisions. It also keeps my drawing from settling into habits.
