Born Suffolk 1998 - Working and living in London

My practice is primarily concerned with the translation of the environments we occupy and our relationships with our surroundings. Line and tone have evolved as fundamental catalysts of my observation and practical work. I am playing with and exploring the materiality of line that facilitates tactility, tone, and colour. Sculpture has become the cornerstone of my current practice, not necessarily perceived as polished pieces, rather as a process that informs my two- dimensional works. Fragments of my surrounding environment, in particular often overlooked structures, have taken my interest, which I have been translating into unfired clay. Rigid, robust structures are re-established into smaller, doughy, and fragile sculptures. Creating the sculptures as a first process then allows joyous freedom within my paintings. Having the flexibility to play with scale and perspective within my sculptures allows me to manipulate the importance, unimportance, and fragility of the fragments. A focus on our surroundings and how we observe them are critical to the way in which I think and initiate a piece of work. The ambiguous nature of the subject also allows and encourages an individual experience when viewing the works. My work aims to form different perspectives on familiar things, inviting a type of playful observation.
