I’m a visual Artist that goes by the moniker ‘Astral Projections’ based out of Hackney, London. My work combines the power of music and visuals to create moving experiences for the audience on an analog, handmade level - it’s a modern love letter to the magic of the 60’s style light shows, with a cosmic twist! Through manipulation of organic matter and handcrafted live liquids, I craft ever-evolving visual landscapes in real time as I work - that aims to evoke a sense transcendence. At the core of my art is a real fascination with the beauty of impermanence. Each performance I create is a fleeting moment, like a sand mandala washed away by time. So far I have collaborated with a number of artists and played some festivals, I am so eager to push my development further.

I’ve followed AVA's journey over the years and I’ve been really inspired by the platform you have created and the platform you’ve provided in electronic music and arts. AVA's creativity within electronic music aligns perfectly with my aspirations as an artist. I’m also deeply involved in the electronic music scene in my personal life and combining that more with my work as a visual artist would be my long term goal. Being part of AVA Festival & Conference and getting to learn from your incredible team and with Kev Freeney in a workshop would be a dream. I am so eager and hope I can be considered. - Thank you!
