My work focuses on the fragility of human interaction and experience through the exploration of
emotions, reaction and affect; manifesting in organic and inorganic materials and shapes often
bashing together through the manner in which material is applied. I aim for viewers to consider
gender, identity and societal constructs when witnessing my work, questioning the correctness
and therefore hopefully the need for reimagination. Struggling with my own identity as a woman,
I create tactile and abstract paintings and sculptures as a means to distract gaze from my
figurative self and shift it to the screeches of my dissatisfaction with the human world and the
tire I feel in the repeated success of the muzzle placed by historical norms. Performance work
helps me feed this plea for liberation through the endurance of repetitive movements or actions
that symbolise shared female sensations. This ongoing gesture based creation process is also
heavily apparent in my two dimensional works in which I tend to compile techniques of addition
and reduction which lead to an exposure that enables the documentation of progress in a
manner which feels one of an organic conception such as layering and erosion - often utilising
actual artifacts or elements of Earth. The foraging of these materials are a statement alone,
ranging from roadside, urban centric, forest exposing or beach telling bits to the harsh matter
found in hardware stores and construction sites, pushing viewers to also consider consumer
habits and capitalist ideals. I create art that is an appendage of pain set against the beauty of
the ecosystems they lie within.
