Hi hi. I work between #Adelaide & #Sydney in experimental performance & #liveart (producing /curating / making). Atm my gigs focus on #physicalperformance, #sitespecific works, #queerperformance & #video.

I’m one half of BadJelly DJs, we play mostly #disco #goth #newwave #hiphop on #vinyl. I collect #records!

In the Before Times I did a lot of #travel for work, living out of a suitcase for 3 years.

I’m the human to a senior #staffy x #jackrussell called Easy Tiger. I spend time #gardening, #cooking, #makingcocktails, getting #tattoos, #renovating, #swimming. Another thing my mind & body are occupied with is #ptsd.

Like the #genx #90sgoth cliche that I am, I’m interested in the #occult, #deathrituals & the associated accoutrements.

I chat about all of the above plus a bunch of #AusPol issues.

I have Scottish, Italian and British heritage (that I know of) and am a settler on unceded #Kaurna land. My family has called #PortAdelaide home since the late 1890s & that place is very special to me.

Pics are: my latest tattoo, an art bar inside an underground crypt that I was fortunate to visit in Bristol a fortnight ago, a skate park we built in the Pilbara when I was recently on tour with #BranchNebula where we did shows and ran workshops for local kids, my dog having a hard day at the office.
