My practice references the politics of individuality through feminist perspectives and methodologies. I employ pop motifs and kitsch materials to delineate an overarching interest in social demographics, the cultural positioning of people and the politics of access, taste and class. Fragments of the familiar are parodied, using humour and hyperbole to destabalise dominant narratives and make room for new understandings.

I typically create soft sculptures and use hand-stitching as a meditative and feminist methodology. My work is recursive, recontextualising common symbols to shift meaning.

Pervert and The Orifice of Delphi have signalled an emergent pattern in my practice, marked by a slight divergence, or rather an evolution, through the feminist into the queer. The defiance of establishing a true interpretation acts to destabilise cognitive binaries: true or false; mother object or sexual body; desirable or repulsive. They are queer bodies, encouraging subjective and subconscious exploration of erotic taboo, ambiguity and excitement.
