Research based Artist
Growing up in rural East Anglia, inspired and fascinated by the changing landscape of animals and people, has given me a connection with the environment in a way that I feel privileged to own. I am a collector, a scavenger, an observer. I carry my treasures, my cages full of experiences where ever I go, sifting through opinion, research and bad science, conjecture, the beautifully ugly, the savage and the tame – and I find new archives everywhere!
Continual observations of the natural and unnatural worlds; corporeal animal and human advancements inform my practice, as well as a strong interest in aesthetics, ethology, and material culture. I am interested in notions of ‘being’, what it means to be animal, and the frictions between languages, species and cultures of understanding.
