About

As an artist, I am very much drawn to stuff: to materials and different processes of making abstract sculpture. It begins with a desire, a pleasure to make art. I am a lover of formal aesthetics within my work: Material, form, composition, and colour. I am interested in my own material experience and in language, as a means of further understanding the world around me. When broken down to its core principles- art making for me is a passage to behave in a very animalistic way, which out with an arts setting would still be considered very odd behaviour! I am intrigued by the borders of artistic disciplines and enjoy working within the limitations of them: What is a painting? What is a sculpture? I am very interested in surface and the assemblage of objects/ materials in space.

I am excited by Scottish rural Landscapes and am an avid mountaineer – To be at one with the natural world as a form of escapism from an increasingly digitalized society. I am constantly questioning what it means to be female in today’s age, dismantling preconceived misogyny and being enthralled by the agency of powerful women in art history.
