About
My current series of work looks at our relationship with nature, the interconnection and lack of definition; how we consume back into our bodies what we inflict. I’m working on a series of papier-mâché and ceramic sculptures and installations and performance with fabric and objects.
Making always feels like a natural dialogue between my body and the material; I work with materials that move, that are supple and that have the ability to be physically transformed with my hands - we move together. This way of working reflects my interest in shifting boundaries and fluid forms that resist definition and that are often ‘between’ forms.
