Bio

Built on a foundation of reoccurring and often archetypal imagery my practice reflects the uncanny experience of encountering the unknown and visceral aspects of being. Through various mediums such as sculpture, drawing and writing an ongoing mythology reveals itself. Layers of fabric skins and wooden bodies contort and meld, colours and designs reach for order and reason while lengths of thread seek to connect ideas or hold tension like nerves and muscles. The personal body extends outward into an imagined one as felt through the senses; a mortal form holding memories, traumas and revelations of the unconscious mind.

The works remain enigmatic whilst revealing recognisable reflections of both the inner and outer experience of our personal, historic and potential future lives, particularly in relationship to nature. This connection to nature is examined through material use by retracing humanity's molding of the environment into aesthetic crafts and symbols, eventually drawing into question what we value, as a society and as a complex individual full of dreams, thoughts and ceremony.
