Roots of my work.
 
I grew up by Epping Forest and had the pleasure of walking there on a regular basis. I frequently spent hours staring head first into our newt pond, fascinated by the minute life there.
This connection developed a deep love of the natural world. My practise is driven by that love and by current threats to our ecosystem.  
I'm also concerned by the capitalist and sociopolitical systems that drives that destruction.
​I trained in 3D design, ceramics and sculpture but have a mixed media practise, working mainly in 3D and installation but also with film, and 2D collage and sewn work.
