For 25 years she has been engaged in personal creative practices across sculpture, performance, net art, multi-user environments, art science collaborations, public displays, gallery intervention; and contributed to the development of networked and emerging art practices as a convener, curator, publisher, critic and editor of exhibitions, forums, conferences and masterclasses in both hard and sand soft space.

explores writing as a negotiation between tales of fiction and documentaries, gender narratives, the strategies from Do it yourself to Do it together, the palimpsest, contextual participation and means in cultural practice.
