I am a London-born artist working across sculpture, painting and drawing. I completed an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 2023 and I am currently based at the Bomb Factory Art Foundation, London.
I make sculpture and painting that explore the interconnectedness of human, non-human and material worlds. Through forms that exist in states of transition and hybridity, I investigate the relationships between bodies, landscapes and matter. At the centre of my practice is an enquiry into entanglement: the deep interconnection between material, human and more-than-human bodies. My work draws on biological structures, material histories and processes of transformation. Challenging colonial ideas of ownership, hierarchy and separation from land, I aim to highlight alternative ways of relating to environment and species.
In sculpture I create work inspired by form found in bones, shells and exoskeletons, exploring the continuities across different forms of life. I work directly with materials including marble, wood and metal. In painting, layered colour and gesture create spaces where relationships between bodies, materials and environments remain fluid rather than fixed.
Through this work I encourage reflection on the systems that connect bodies, materials and environments. I invite viewers to consider themselves not as isolated individuals, but as beings embedded within wider ecological and material networks.
