I am a conceptual visual artist driven by the pursuit of connections between seemingly unrelated objects. Fusing geology and detritus with elements of urban design. I uncover the concealed narratives of racism, migration, and the pressing climate crisis.
Found objects, often disregarded and overlooked in their mundanity, serve as both my medium and my muse. I aim to breathe new life by utilising suggestive spots the unique pieces have to offer and altering them in a way that makes the sculptures more playful and my approach less narrow-minded.
My hand-drawn mostly geometric illustrations are usually influenced by something I find fascinating in the world, such as tribal symbols, ancient alphabets, symbols of belief and the beauty of the natural world, and for these reasons I wish to share these more obscure and perhaps unknown esoteric symbols and the like, with a wider general audience.
The more natural illustration I create was inspired from roots, rivers, brain coral, woodgrain and thunder and lightning, whilst the crosshatching pattern is inspired from architecture and the materials used in urban environments.
I believe art should be aesthetically pleasing and convey deeper thought.
Graduated with a 2:1 BA (Hons) degree in Contemporary Crafts from Falmouth University in 2011.
