I’m an emerging feminist artist whose work explores the boundaries between intuition, cultural
stories, and mysterious spaces. Based in auto-biographical storytelling, my sculptural language explores contrasting textures and gestures to personify materials steeped in domestic symbolism. I aim to engage the viewer through the unexpected manipulation of familiar materials, and familiar stories told in an uncomfortable way.
