About
STATEMENT
I am a visual artist working with people, performance, written and light-projected text, plants, and alternative photography processes. I work directly outside, with, or in response to urban landscapes. A ‘sense of place’ is a central theme in my work
I work with collective and personal expressions of grief and gratitude, and definitions of ‘home’; how these expressions help us understand our place in ‘nature’ and in future communities.
This work seeks urgent questions (not answers), or repeating-calls (mantras) relevant to places we inhabit, and to communities and non-humans we share space with. I consider wherever we travel through and stand upon as ‘home’, though not always the home we wish for. Who and what is missing? How do we celebrate what we have, fight for what could be, and mourn what was and was not?
BIO
I was born in 1983 in Peterborough (UK) and currently live and work in London. I have lived on a narrowboat without a fixed mooring, moving from place to place every two weeks for over 12 years. Living nomadically in obscure urban, suburban and rural landscapes for the last decade has informed my practice. My practice also draws on my own losses, including my parents passing in early childhood, and the consequential grounding and deep connection I found in natural environments both rural and urban.
I regularly exhibit and hold participatory projects. Collaborators include METAL, PEER, Nunnery Gallery, Cubitt, OUTPOST, Surface Gallery, A.P.T, Almeida Theatre, Willesden Gallery, Dark Mountain, Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, Mercer Art Gallery and Mall Galleries. I was recently in residency at Phytology: Bethnal Green Nature Reserve and awarded an Arts Council England DYCP and a-n Artist’s Bursary. I am associate artist at the Climate Museum and volunteer for the Mobile Apothecary in Bethnal Green.
