My practice examines the relationship between psychological states of mind and their expression in the human body. I am interested in how the musculature of the body holds psychological states. In how the marks and indentations of skin can speak of absence and loss, whilst also holding the memory of touch. And how the body remembers and tells the story of its lived experience.

My work is informed by a life-long interest in existential thought and notions of mortality. In recent years, this interest has developed into a body of work that dives deep into themes of trauma and memory, feeling and form and the transient nature of our corporeal bodies. The space between limbic memory and sculptural form is where I can explore the boundaries between love and loss, ritual and remembrance, memory and desire.

My current process is heavily focused on the use of clay. It is through the haptic connection with the clay that I find flow and form.

Clay has become a material that I use to emotionally regulate, reconnect and make the unconscious, conscious . I find clay’s malleable quality provides a conduit through which emotional resonance can find expression and form.
