Art Practice
Practice
My work explores the relationship between the body, environment and memory through a visual language grounded in repetition, pattern and narrative imagery. Working primarily in monochromatic palettes, I develop compositions that draw from myth, personal history, and natural forms to create layered visual stories.
Research
My research examines how image-making operates as a mode of knowledge production across drawing, installation, and embodied practice. It draws on feminist and visual culture frameworks to consider how images shape relationships between bodies, environments, and systems of meaning (Haraway; Jones; Mitchell).
Pattern
Pattern operates as both structure and method within my work, allowing meaning to accumulate through repetition and variation. Through this process, images hold and transmit memory, echoing how visual forms persist and transform over time.
Story
Narrative emerges through the interaction of figures, symbols, and environments. These elements often reference marine life, anatomy, and imagined ecosystems, forming interconnected visual systems.
Immersion
The work expands into spatial environments that invite viewers into an embodied visual field. Installation becomes a way of reorganising perception, where the viewer is positioned within the work rather than outside it (Bishop).
Submersion
Submersion draws the work inward, engaging oceanic and speculative imaginaries to explore transformation and interdependence. Here, figures and environments dissolve into one another, reflecting a relational understanding of the world where boundaries between human and nonhuman remain fluid (Haraway).
Encounter
Meaning is activated through the viewer’s physical presence, where looking becomes a form of participation. The encounter between body and artwork shapes how the work is experienced and understood (Jones).
Projection
The body becomes a site where images are projected and reconfigured. Through this process, identity is understood as something constructed through repetition, gesture, and performance (Butler).
