  • Biography
My work reflects an ongoing interest and curiosity in making meaning through metaphor. I work with and through a multitude of materials. I make paintings, sculptures, installations engaging with a multitude of materials. Currently I am a practice led PhD candidate at DJCAD working between the disciplines of fine art, philosophy and social anthropology. Embracing matter as both porous and lively, I acknowledge the urgency with which to challenge human exceptionalism in these times of global environmental chaos and fragility.
