Gemma’s work weaves together elements of mythology, heritage, performance and theatre but she is an explorer, venturing into other territories as necessary.  She mostly makes site-specific and/or socially engaged work that can manifests in theatre, writing, song, storytelling, film, soundscape, installations and the making of zines.

As a child she would sing songs to the fields around her village home and she I grew up hearing local stories of rising water and wild women. She ran away and gathered more mythological nourishment in Wales, and then Cornwall, but Essex kept haunting her dreams and she returned home in 2017 determined to work loud and proud with her local places and all their stories. Recently ritual and magical thinking have also returned to her creative craft.

She loves to bring people together in the places that belong to them; organising group shows for local and emerging artists in Wales, town crying and conscious street cleaning in Cornwall and developing artist collective and platform the UNFAMILIARS in Colchester.
