Injecting life into discarded materials 〰️

About me

I am a multimedia artist working broadly in the areas of sculpture, installation, collage and stitch. I work with found ephemera, words and natural things, to highlight female stories of resilience. Embracing my own emotions, I explore the seldom explored darker sides of life with honesty and humour, to make connections with identity and memory.

Research and the ritualistic process of making are fundamental to my work; often exploring historic and scientific documents , 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.
