My practice is deeply rooted in expressing the human experience of being, through tangible objects that invite both touch and contemplation. My work explores the physical manifestation of emotional experience, in particular memory, trauma and healing. I find the process of making to be meditative, as the dance between material, technique and feeling drives the emerging abstract forms.

Whether casting a fragile vessel from fallen leaves, or carving a sculpture from rock formed millions of years ago, I work with organic materials to emphasise our shared existence and connection to the earth. Stone in particular is a tactile reminder of our cosmic origins, the material itself seemingly making a connection with me that often feels beyond explanation or description.

I am based in Hampshire and am currently completing a BA in art and Contemporary Craft at West Dean College of Art Design and Conservation.
