A neurodivergent multimedia artist working with people, performance, text-based projections, plant-based work and alternative photography processes to reconsider our relationship to nature and future communities.
I am a neurodivergent multimedia artist working with people, performance, text-based projections, plant-based work, and alternative photography processes. A ‘sense of place’ is a central theme in my work. I work directly outside, with, or in response to urban landscapes. I explore notions of place, community, grief, gratitude, and belonging, offering an invitation to reconsider our relationship to nature and future communities.
I regularly exhibit and hold participatory projects. Recent collaborators include IMT Gallery, METAL, PEER, Nunnery Gallery, Cubitt, OUTPOST, Surface Gallery, A.P.T, Almeida Theatre, Willesden Gallery, Dark Mountain, and Rugby Art Gallery and Museum. I was recently awarded an a-n Artist’s Bursary 2025-26 and I volunteer for the Mobile Apothecary (a herbal remedy street service) in Bethnal Green.
I was born in 1983 in Peterborough (UK) and currently live and work in London. I have lived on a narrowboat without a fixed mooring, moving from place to place every two weeks for over 14 years. Living nomadically in obscure urban, suburban and rural landscapes for the last decade has informed my practice. My practice also draws from my own losses, and the consequential grounding and deep connection I have found in natural environments both rural and urban.
