About

She builds tactile worlds populated by creatures, bodies and material forms that hold emotional states rather than represent them. These environments are not fixed narratives, but are shaped by texture and physical presence: they don’t define but invite sensitivity and imagination.

That which is difficult to articulate sparks her interest: the messy and accidental nature of experience. The parts of ourselves that remain felt, sensed and half-recognised while we move through life.

Tactility functions as a way of thinking through the body. She works intuitively, allowing chance to shape the work.
