I am a visual artist with an enquiry based practice. My work engages with subjects of mortality, complexities of being human and the value of sharing which I research diligently by investigating, learning and doing. This methodology gives me both lived experience and knowledge to be able to share my works, as their aim is to provoke and engage the audience with these urgent concerns.

My works often take shape of rituals that are intimate and evoke multi-sensory experiences. I work with mixed-media, focusing on time based works using; conversations, hand poke tattooing, video, performance, drawing, photography, sound, installation, and a variety of found and made objects. 

Research through practical learning is a fundamental part of my practice, enabling me to create credible and meaningful works. Some of this include; learning to freedive to be able to hold my breath and investigate the liminal stage between life and death. To create work that explored a mode of communication unknow to me, I completed a Level 1 Award in BSL. Most recently, to be able to offer hand poke tattoo rites, I  trained with a mentor, Grace Neutral, who is an icon in hand poke tattooing.

My works are realised from a combination of my ongoing mind-body practices. I merge my Vipassana mediation, my yoga practice and my climbing practice together with my art practice. My research is informed by my interest in humanity, psychology, justice, ecology, holistic and mindful living.

The trajectory of my work has been to connect the female form (primarily my own) to the external world, where both environmental and cultural territories are intimately sensed and experienced, and socially performed. I have been utilising my body and its processes in the performances, which I envisage as modern feminist rituals. 

I’m drawn to performative aspects of art making. All my works employ a great amount of hyperfocus, repetition, endurance and are time based. After lockdown I expanded into socially engaged practice using hand poke tattooing. This allowed me to be of service to others through conversations, collaborative exchanges and realising concepts into artworks.

Hand poke tattooing combines my creative and practical skills, good work ethics and different experiences I gathered over the years. Currently I am  focusing mainly on tattooing because I want to offer others, their own kind of rite of passage via means of hand poke tattoos.
