If you want to be alive, read my lips gives audiences, participants and wearers of unique jewellery to gain an insight into the challenges of communicating in a male-dominated society. Two experiences amplify this challenge. I am Deaf & have successfully sought asylum from a country that identifies my work as political & challenging of a traditional masculinity. To do this I need to R & D making ceramic over-ear pieces; that give a distorted experience of the world. My aim, to make large-scale happenings about wearing the sound altering jewellery & find partners to support production.
