Through large-scale ensemble performances Serena reconsiders aspects of communion and tradition in our lives. Underpinning her practice is a desire to find and highlight ritual in the everyday, which is developed through encounters, conversations and the researching of abandoned histories. Based on the understanding that everything in the universe is vibrating with energy she has been examining the materiality of objects and sound to explore how resonance and animism bind us all together. Audiences are often encouraged to participate at some point in her process creating collective experiences that focus on the forgotten and overlooked.
Serena recently completed a solo show for Glasgow International 2016, Hold Fast Stand Sure, I Scream a Revolution, GSA Gallery and performed with her Jug Choir as part of Supernormal 2016. In 2015 she completed a public art project for Haverfordwest Black Diamond and in 2014 she undertook a residency at The Museum of Jurassic Technology, Los Angeles.
