I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London. Although working with a range of concepts and media, my works are often monochromatic and arranged in patterns or sequences. A childhood interest in science has become a key influence on my projects, with recent focus on the human body, geology and microscopy. 

​

Engaging in tactile artistic processes such as film photography, lithography, bookbinding, and paint making establishes a physical connection to my materials. I have used stones, clay, ash, bricks, spices, blood, and iron oxide as pigments. My painting and drawing can be repetitive and meditative, like performing without an audience.

​

Arte Povera, the ‘poor art’ movement in 1960s Italy, has recently influenced my understanding of art, particularly the ephemerality of their work and the importance of engaging all the senses. I intend to explore art in more ways than just visual, as is standard in Western culture. Some of my paintings smell strongly of the pigments I have used, and my processes often rely on bodily movements and creating textures.

In my current project, I am finding patterns in plant life on a microscopic level and representing them in a range of realistic to abstracted outcomes. The microscope provides a new perspective and way of seeing, but also restricts your vision as you look down it. The process of collecting the samples on walks is meditative, while using the microscope is both meditative and existential.
