About me
I am a conceptual artist working broadly in the areas of sculpture, installation, collage and stitch. I often work with found ephemera, words and natural finds from my therapeutic walking, to explore female stories of resilience. I expose the darker sides of life, blurring the semi-autobiographical with fiction to highlight the precariousness of being human, exposing silent happenings, such as terminal illness, grief, dementia, caregiving, infertility & hearing loss, from a female perspective.
Research and the ritualistic process of making are fundamental to my work; often exploring historic and scientific documents and locations, found letters and books , whilst allowing ideas to invade and evolve.
I work from my studio on the south coast of England with frequent walks to the woods or the beach to clear my head.
