I began to recognise myself as an artist in my mid-twenties, developing a self-taught painting practice before later pursuing a BA in Mixed Media Fine Art, where I discovered my passion for sculpture and installation. Working in a multidisciplinary mixed-media practice allows me to explore unlimited creative possibilities and supports my personal journey of psychological liberation.
Seeing the world through the lens of duality, I am intuitively drawn to contrasting ideas and materials: complexity and simplicity, organic and artificial, soft and tough, handmade and ready-made. Hybridisation of forms, objects, materials, and ideas is a core visual language in my practice. My combinations reflect familiar yet otherworldly and illogical unconscious states. I work through both conscious processing and unconscious association, moving between reflective awareness and non-linear, emergent processes; the methodology itself becomes a hybrid.
My inspiration grows from inner emotional landscapes meeting outer organic forms and machine-made materials. The strange beauty of fruits and vegetables becomes personal symbolism, with meanings that shift over time. Through installation, the works take on an almost ritualistic presence. My curiosity about science, technology, and human-AI relationships appears through speculative biological hybrid forms and digital elements.
The decisions in my process are guided by intuition rather than logic. Ideas appear either as visions or as accumulations of intuitively chosen objects. Often an emotional truth is hidden within these objects, yet sometimes they simply exist without demanding interpretation. Intuitive making operates within uncertainty, which gives me a sense of freedom. However, the same uncertainty in everyday life can feel destabilising, highlighting the contrast between creative liberation and lived experience.
I naturally work on several artworks simultaneously, reflecting my experience of holding multiple emotions and mental states at once. This process extends from my personality, where tears and laughter can exist only an hour apart. In my visual language, this duality appears as beauty alongside discomfort, or intensity alongside humour.
I combine organic forms, either cast from real-life objects or handmade at exaggerated scales, with industrial materials such as silicone wires, metal chains, and found objects. The dialogue between organic and manufactured materials emphasises the tension between natural life and the material world we build around us.
My sculptures often exist in states of suspension, grounding, or somewhere in between, occupying a spectrum rather than a single fixed form. Viewers are invited to feel, or not feel, and to interpret meaning through their own perception.
My practice allows me to transform pain, move closer to understanding existence, explore hybrid futures, and hold contradictions. It is a space where I can feel free, where logic loosens, uncertainty feels safe, and new possibilities can emerge.
