About me

I am a conceptual artist working in various media including sculpture, installation, embroidery, and film.  My practice is rooted in threads of personal stories that expose vulnerability and hidden truths.

Currently my work is investigating metaphors for disease & decay with sculptures imagined as fragile living forms that echo the rhythms of the diseases.

Works unfold through connections with nature and research into scientific developments, alongside patient and repetitive material experimentation, to expose my darker thoughts and my strengths.

The structured process of making acts as a form of healing and renewal after a long period of navigating a terminal neurological illness, being a family caregiver, working through grief, as well as a personal cancer diagnosis. All life experiences which send shockwaves through your life plans and lead you elsewhere.

I work from my studio on the south coast of England with frequent walks to the woods or the beach to clear my head.
