“I have been a member, supporter and advocate for ANAT since its organisational inception in 1988. I both taught at, and also personally attended its early, seminal Arts + Technology Summer Schools. I have been privileged to be an ANAT Synapse resident in both 2012 and 2024.”

“I am passionate about ANAT’s remit to promote opportunities for artists to create experimental work in and with science and technology,and recognise and highly value that current leadership place a strong importance on issues of sustainability and justice within their vital advocacy and funding work.”
