Artist Statement:

“I’m an artist living and working in Wales, interrogating a sense of place, of belonging, and the boundary systems and borders we create. I explore constructed networks in relation to fragile systems across natural, and psychological landscapes.

I’m interested in making connections between the political and the personal, between the intimate spaces we occupy in the real world but also in our inner worlds.

Often drawn to using organic materials that come from the earth such as ice, salt, clay, wax and glass to explore ideas of transformation. The futile act of casting with ice, recording ice in its melting state, sculpting with salt, observing the cycles of change are alchemical processes I commit to, before translating them via, sculpture, film, photography, sound, installation or performance.

Resultant works reflect on themes of time and temporality, speculating upon processes embodied in nature to help us relate our human experience to it.”
