     BMA Artist Profile

What do you do?
Edit. Write and perform poetry and run poetry gigs. Dabble in zine making.

When did you get into it?
A bit during Year 11 and 12 but mainly at the end of uni - around 2006.

Who or what influences you as an artist?
Old video games. Cheesy horror movies. Local poets Hadley and Seung Baek.

What's your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
Editing The Sex Mook for Vignette Press.

What are your plans for the future?
Lots more poetry slams at The Front. Trying to get more of my writing in print/recorded.

What makes you laugh?
Dad jokes.

What pisses you off?
People whingeing about something without engaging in making it better.

What's your opinion of the local scene?
Canberra's got a tonne of exciting things going on but they can be a little hidden away. Once you find the right people you can't possibly be bored.

What are your upcoming performances/exhibitions?
Halloween Poetry Slam (30 October at The Front), MCing the ACT heat of the Australian Poetry Slam (6 November at the National Library of Australia) and running a special exhibition launch slam at the National Museum of Australia (12 December).
