ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist, exploring painting, collage, sculpture, moving images and installation. My artworks are conversations about transience.
I ask the viewer to engage emotionally with my artwork, which aims to provoke inexpressible and challenging feelings, experiences or sensations.
The aim of my art is to stimulate conversations about the nature of control, confinement, freedom, and flow.
Mental Health, Gender Politics and the Climate Emergency are my concerns, and I’m currently exploring bubbles to illustrate the power of breathing exercises to manage psychological states.
