Biography
My work centres on the interiors and exteriors of the casting processes, with an emphasis on its shells, hollows, and volumes as both material and conceptual drivers. As a mould-making tutor, I spend much of my time thinking about positive and negative space, imagining objects from the inside out. The forms emerge through a making process that depends on porosity and containment, paralleling their corporeal themes. I am interested in the disconnect between our lived experience of the body and our limited understanding of its hidden interior; I use vessel-like forms to speculate on these unseen spaces. I explore forms that appear caught in moments of stress or transition: stretched, slumped, leaking or held in place. Tensions and anxieties are often physically represented in the strain of the materials themselves. Drawing on references from the medical and domestic, the sculptures occupy a space between abstraction and familiarity.
After studying Fine Art at Newcastle University graduating in 2015, I went on to complete an MFA in Fine Art Sculpture from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2019 where I was awarded the Nancy Balfour Scholarship and the Henriques Scholarship Prize. In 2022 I was a finalist in the ACS Studio Prize and also in the 2022 Ingram Prize 2020. Recent exhibitions include Summer Exhibition (Royal Academy of Arts, London, 2026), Take A Seat Before You Change Your Mind (Kristin Hjellegjerde, London, 2025), Small Is Beautiful (Flowers Gallery, London, 2025) and Human After All (Moosey Gallery, Norwich, 2025).
