A still from "to monastery"
I’m a mixed media visual artist based in Somerset, working experimentally with handmade paper, plant fibres, language, installation, and performance. At the core of my practice is a curiosity about how we make sense of the world through the interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the rational and the felt.
Paper functions not only as a surface within my work, but as a living material encounter, shaped through touch, transformation, decay, and time. Through processes of pulping, layering, writing, and repetition, I explore thresholds and half-seen moments where meaning flickers into view yet resists being fully grasped, suggesting connections to something larger, more entangled, and beyond immediate understanding.
My practice is deeply informed by the material intelligence of plants and the shifting relationship between humans and the more-than-human world. Working with gathered fibres, organic matter, and handmade processes, I am interested in how materials carry memory, agency, and traces of place. Making becomes a process of listening and collaboration with the natural world, where touch, intuition, and embodied attention allow unexpected forms and meanings to emerge.
