Performance with Owl Projects and Modular Meets, during their residency at Yorkshire Sculpture park, 2017
My work explores haptic qualities and the porosity of bodies, materials, and surfaces—moments where sensation creates connection and evokes instability, suspension, and resistance. I am interested in how materials mediate between fragility and resilience, functioning as surrogates for the body and indexes of embodied experience.
Navigating chronic ill health shapes both my life and my practice, informing my awareness of material, biological, and bodily interactions, ecologies, and states. I often work situationally and site responsively. Whether my studio is my lap, my bed, a hospital or bedroom or more traditional studio, I am contemplating and negotiating with the spaces in which I make and exhibit.
‘Notes from Meanwhile’, performative reading at ‘The Same Deep Water As You’ PINK, 2025
Collage, weaving, and writing are central to my making. These processes offer ways for me imagine other possibilities and places to inhabit—embodied acts of transformation, mending, joining, and reconfiguring. Through them, I reimagine fragments of body, form, and landscape, grounding the work in lived experience.
In October 2025, I began a combined printmaking and ceramics fellowship with Artlab and Claylab at the University of Lancashire, supporting a period of experimentation leading to a Women in Print residency at Artlab and the development of a new print edition for their collection.
At the start of 2026, following a successful joint DYCP application in 2025, Rowland Hill and I began developing work together—building a dialogue around and between our practices through studio visits, writing, sharing, and dedicated making time during residencies at PINK. I am also currently part of the Syllabus VIII, a co-designed learning programme delivered in collaboration with Wysing Arts Centre, Studio Voltaire, Spike Island, Eastside Projects, Site Gallery, PS², and New Art Exchange.
