My work is a celebration and exploration of imaginative play. Through my practice I excavate childhood memories to reveal hidden narratives that explore moments of self-transformation.

I am influenced by a varied well of inspiration including medieval manuscript illustrations, puppetry, folk ritual, theatre, and carnival. From this springboard I create informal and joyous pieces that revel in their handmade-ness and tempt curiosity with fragmented narratives.

My practice is an exploratory and interdisciplinary one, though one that is anchored by both drawing and sculpture. Familiar and often up-cycled materials feature heavily with papier-mâché, cardboard, and reclaimed textiles forming the foundation of many of my pieces. Recently I have begun to explore what happens to the work when I place myself within it; how breathing life into an object changes its meaning and provides a direct experience of playfulness.
