I bELIEVE IN A MORE connected, creative, and MINDFUL WORLD.
As a Melbourne-based visual artist with roots in the United Kingdom, my purpose is to inspire others to slow down and appreciate the beauty in their daily lives. Through my art, I strive to create a more creative, connected, and mindful world. My practice involves experimenting with various mediums, including immersive sculptures, community-based public art, and interactive digital works, all focused on exploring the passage of time and the materiality of nature. I aim to create striking textures that engage with themes of historical narratives, social observations, and collective responsibility for the environment.
My work is concerned with the passage of time, the materiality of nature and finding striking textures. I enjoy the process of experimentation and being surprised by unexpected outcomes. The themes engaged through my practice include historical narratives, social observations, and collective responsibility for the environment.
