Born 1990, South East London.
Currently working between Northumberland and Edinburgh.
Through open-ended assemblages of human and more-than-human remnants, my practice engages with the depletion and transformation of matter. My work is installation based and is led by materials as they disintegrate, flow, merge, leak and seep. These installations inhabit multiple temporalities, be that through a residue, a material life-span, a fossilisation. I am interested in the unruly materials and systems that disrupt dominant classifications of value and use.
I am starting a practice-based PhD at Edinburgh College of Art in September 2022, funded by the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences College Research Award. My research interests are situated in the overlapping spheres of art, ecocriticism, microbiology, material philosophy, feminist scholarship, fictioning and education.
I am part of the collective Surface Matters: a space for peer-to-peer dialogue, learning and visibility for intergenerational under-represented artists. Surface Matters works with artists that are concerned with materiality and human connections to space, examining where we find ourselves situated physically, emotionally, and culturally.
