My work focuses on an amalgamation of art and anthropology, stemming from my time living and working in Kenya. This experience has been the main influence on my life and work, for art practice, research and lecturing.
My work is very much process led, reflecting themes of mortality through fragility, construction and deconstruction. I studied at Chelsea School of Art and Goldsmiths’ College in London, and have subsequently carried out a practice-based PhD in Sculpture. I have exhibited nationally and internationally and gained awards from the Arts Council (ACE) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
