My practice operates at the intersection of history, memory and speculative possibility - using self and collective mythologising as a strategic tactic. Blending the corporeal with fantasy, I draw on autobiography, communal stories and lived experience to construct a personal and collective cultural language that works as a tool for self-definition, re-writing and imaginative resistance.

Spanning sculpture, textiles, bio-materials, fermentation, sound, image, responsive technologies and collective action. I make work that speaks politically about gender, culture, class, disability, ethnicity and belonging - about what it means to have power, or not; to control your body, or not. Lived experience is always the starting point, but the destination is a reconstruction of self — singular and collective -untethered from the stereotypes and stigma imposed by culture, class and race.

Blending myth, fantasy and personal and political histories with acts of collective making, my work actively rejects hegemonic narrative structures through experimental and durational forms - interrogating class, diaspora and the disabled body in spaces co-created to overturn cultural, political and social norms. Unwritten ancestry and collective voices are the keystones: always a form of activism in which alternative realities are proposed, acted out, and biographical and communal narratives are reclaimed.
