Overview
At the heart of my practice is the belief that art should be both engaging and accessible. I strive to create work that sparks curiosity, invites touch, and builds connections – between people, histories, and the spaces we share.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, working between Bournemouth and Southampton, my practice explores the intersections of materiality, heritage, and community. I create monumental sculptural installations using both reclaimed and new materials, combining traditionally masculine and feminine techniques. Textile processes such as knitting and weaving, are central to my work, alongside large-scale wooden and 3D-printed structures. By blending these elements, I seek to challenge binary and gendered approaches to art-making while connecting with historical craft traditions.
My recent work draws inspiration from the Industrial Revolution, specifically the grand machines and architecture that shaped societal conditioning, commerce, and design. I am exploring a concept I describe as contemporary Victorianism, reimagining Victorian knitting and loom machinery using modern processes and materials. This ongoing inquiry reflects on how these historic innovations continue to influence our relationship with labour, domesticity, and creative production.
As a Technician Demonstrator for BA (Hons) Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth, I specialise in sculpture, acting as a technical partner to students to help them realise their most ambitious ideas. My role bridges the gap between traditional heritage crafts and modern digital fabrication; I provide expert guidance across a vast range of disciplines, from textiles, metalwork, and woodworking to silicone casting, CAD design, and 3D printing. I view every project as a collaborative challenge – one that allows me to empower students with practical skills while continuously evolving my own technical mastery and teaching practice within AUB’s vibrant maker culture.
