Biography
As an artist, I position myself at the intersection of joy, grief, celebration and pain. The use of ambiguity in my work and personal life is a working method that understands that everything in the world is designed to break; bodies, systems, feelings and most importantly material. In my art, I on purpose work with materials that show the large amount of devotion as a layering that witnesses the complicated puzzle of grief and celebration. Ceramics and textiles are both examples of this that fit well within this work method, not only do they show the amount of work but they are also tactile materials, which like colour, have a natural seductiveness.
