My work sits at the intersection of matrescence, care, and ecology. I question how care is made, shared, and carried, across domestic life, social systems, and the more-than-human world.
I work across sculpture, installation, sound, performance, craft, writing, and socially engaged processes, often using lo-fi, DIY, and improvised approaches as both an aesthetic and methodological choice: I want to foreground access, tangibility, and relationality.
Drawing on feminist, ecological, neuroqueer, and disability-informed theories and perspectives, my practice pushes back against idealised narratives - of motherhood, of nature, of how artist’s are supposed to make work. I'm drawn instead to disorderliness, interdependence, and collaboration: with other artists, with the more-than-human & with people who wouldn't call themselves artists at all.
Alongside my arts practice, I work curatorially and collectively, developing projects that move between making, facilitation, and shared inquiry. I'm an experienced producer, engagement coordinator, communications lead and mentor.
I am also the Founder and Director of Kinfolk Families, an arts-led CIC, working to make the cultural sector more inclusive for parents, carers and all kinds of family-makers, especially those who are often marginalised. We bring people together to explore how creativity and care can sit side by side.
