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.
My practise explores entanglement: the deep interconnection between human, non-human and material worlds. Drawing on biological structures and processes of transformation, I investigate forms in states of transition and hybridity. Challenging colonial ideas of ownership, hierarchy and separation from land, my work considers alternative ways of relating to environment and species.

Challenging colonial ideas of ownership, hierarchy and separation from land, my work considers alternative ways of relating to environment and species.
My sculptures are inspired by form found in bones, shells and exoskeletons. These forms explore continuities across different forms of life, using materials including marble, wood and metal. In painting, I use layered colour and gesture to create spaces where relationships between bodies, materials and environments remain fluid. Together, these works invite reflection on humans not being individuals, but as embedded beings within wider ecological and material networks.
