ARTIST STATEMENT

​​My practice moves between sculpture, drawing, installation and social practice processes that can evolve organically over time. Grounded in corporeal awareness and central to my practice is a deep engagement with the body’s ability to regenerate, rupture, and adapt in response to internal and external forces. Drawing from biological systems, including cellular matter, reproductive systems, endocrine shifts, hormonal change and processes of ageing, I translate lived, embodied experience into forms that oscillate between recognition and abjection.

I work primarily with textiles, found objects and mixed media which I manipulate through bodily gestures such as stitching, stuffing, binding, knotting, and stretching. Rooted in the domestic and the invisible labour of women. I’m drawn to the tactility of fabric, the language of softness, and the subversive potential of materials coded as feminine.

My recent body of work, Artefacts of Her Body extends these concerns through an investigation of the body as a living archive. This work explores the feminine form as both witness and record, tracing the lived experiences of womanhood and embodiment. 

Textile based forms operate as both metaphor and document, preserving personal histories in their folds and surfaces while resisting erasure. By layering unravelling and reconstructing materials, I reclaim the body as an evolving presence one that holds the imprints of change, embracing transformation as a form of resilience and power.
