Artist Statement
My practice involves domestic material exploration and often comments on the evolution of stereotypes within gender and sexuality. The concepts I investigate examine the effects of intergenerational abuse; bringing forward complexities within familial relationships.
In conjunction with my studio art practice, I am committed to a socially engaged approach aimed at raising awareness about sexual and domestic violence through connection and action.
