I am an artist based in London, working across different media. My practice has a strong focus on drawing, casting and printmaking. In my sculptures and prints, physical elements from the world and my own gestures become imbricated in the surface of the work. I am unravelling the tactile relationship that exists between my body and materials, creating marks and patterns which are evidence of this encounter.

My current MA research focuses on the work of female sculptors in relation to the abject and how the use of materials and processes can evoke skin and flesh.
