Damaged Bodies This new series of works reference wax anatomical models, oozing bodily fluids and hint at what might lie beneath our flesh. They present an abstract idea of the body and prompt us to consider its mutability.  

Absent Bodies is a new series of work that concentrates on the interplay between groups of hand-stitched and painted assemblages and their shadows.  

Enfleshing Ghost Series is a derivation from the Enfleshing I-VI. It begun with a drawing made on site of the shadows cast by Enfleshing I-VI when exhibited at Copeland Gallery, Peckham in November 2021.  The two works Sometimes and Eventually  you will win are three dimensional representations of the shadows. 

Enfleshing I-VI is a series of works made for Rules of Six  the inaugural exhibition of Six Artists. Rules of Six appropriated a regulation designed to limit social contact as a framework for a collective, creative effort – albeit one carried out at a distance. Six artists, six works each, one shared (virtual) space.

A series of four works, investigating our shifting relationship with our bodies. These works are brought together into sculptural forms using ‘free sewing’ where strips of textile, string and latex are incorporated into the stitched line as it is being made. The visceral qualities of each are activated with light.

Knotted Form explores how the relative textures and weights of plaster and stuffed fabric can be exploited to create corporeal form. The weight is made more apparent by the long hanging ribbons and a notion of the internal body is exacerbated by the subtle pink tones of the fabrics, hand-dyed with natural pigments.
