North-West based mixed media artist
I am a Manchester School of Art Fine Art and Art History graduate, and current School of the Damned member. I am intrigued by the playfulness of how things are built and made and can grow; seeing this as a metaphor for our own mental constructions of memories and narratives. I am interested in the strong becoming fragile undermined by time, the combination of hard and soft materiality, the natural and artificial and the delicate and industrial. I work across a range of mediums including free motion embroidery work, ceramics and laser-cut plastic with the endeavour to explore the edges and relationship between the two and three dimensions; by oscillating between them both in the form of hand-picked symbols and motifs I attempt to tell miniature narratives surrounding the slippery and breakable qualities of memory.
