Bristol
I am an artist based at St Anne’s House in Bristol. I build, draw, print sculptures, installations and 2D work for which the starting point is conceptual. Blending concepts will create the momentum for the next make.

My practice explores the business of human emotion - social mores, roles and behaviours - through a female lens. Working in an embodied and playful way, I allow process and medium to shift in response to each idea, moving between drawing, writing, fabric, carpentry, print, and building.

Collaboration sits at the heart of this work and I create learning communities around shared questions in the practice, most notably through the alternative MA Press Play (2016–2022) and the residencies for artists Body as a Tool for Visual Arts Research (2023) and Drawbridge (2023).  

Lived Experience

Alongside my studio practice, I have worked extensively across the cultural sector as a programmer and programme manager (Riverside Studios, RFH, Yorkshire Dance and The Bluecoat), workshop leader (The Hayward and Whitechapel), scenic artist (National Theatre and Souvenir Scenic Studios) and creative wellbeing workshop leader (Holburne Museum).
