Pony Audio Samples

Pony is an interdisciplinary artist that experiments, creates and collaborates through and between composition, performance, making and installation, and poetry and creative writing. 
Their practice has been developed through formal and informal studies, through professional development as an artist in the community through residencies, workshops, performances and exhibitions, contributing locally and interstate in a variety of settings. Their disabled, trans and queer identities inform how they centre their practice on access, mutual aid and collective care, and subverting the dominant gaze. 

Intersecting space with readily available and seemingly mundane physical material, but with community support is part of their method to gain access to meaningful expression and facilitate meaningful expression. They compose/construct/write/perform to facilitate collaboration and improvisation, analyzing likely variables, materials and space. 

Pony resides and creates on unceeded Kaurna Land.
