‘Art can allow us to glimpse beings that exist beyond or between our normal categories’

Timothy Morton, philosopher

My work is concerned with connectivity in nature, drawing on the writing of philosophers such as Donna Haraway, Stacy Alaimo and Timothy Morton, who propose alternative, posthuman ideas in order to transform our relationships within the Anthropocene. Living alongside other humans and non-human entities on a more equitable level, forging balanced and respectful collaborations, may produce a more sustainable planet. My work explores these ideas, dealing with dysbiosis as well as symbiosis to form strange interrelationships. My principal material is recycled cardboard, out of which I create organic, hybrid, half-recognisable forms. 

I am taking on new projects. If you have any proposals, commissions or just want to get in touch, please contact me via the email below.
