My practice is centred around investigations into how the definite can coexist with the infinite. How boundaries that we construct throughout our lives to create supposed order or safety, can distract from the interactions that allow freedom. Investigating liminality I use my own body as a site of trauma, employing the abject, notions of beauty, sexual power exchange and the sublime I research how these elements can be combined. I am particularly interested in Irigaray’s discussions around volume fluidity to describe the female corporeal experience and how these relate to quantum theory. More recently I have been inspired by my children as an extenuation of my own reality and how they intersect with my past and future. I explore their darker nature, how their rawness can reveal my own demons. I work across painting and sculpture, looking to balance figuration with abstraction to create personal understandings. My first degree was in Physics, which led to a successful career in the Medical Devices sector for 15 years. As the world started to feel like it was getting crazier and crazier, I decided to quit my steady job and do something else. In 2021 I received a BA in Glass from The University of Creative Arts, Farnham. I am currently studying for a Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art.
