Power Pieces are sculptural wall altars built from objects and fragments. Assembled with objects crossing culture, language, geography and time, they seek to decode and re-define respectability and make way for new sources of power.

These 3D wall pieces use everyday items, ephemera, detritus, jewellery, textile and steel fragments and ancient iron to imbue ordinary and discarded things with significance. They seek to challenge what we value and what we preserve.

Leather Poems

The recurrent use of leather as a stand in for vulnerability invites reconnection to our own nature as a part of the wider natural world. 

Use of strapping to connect, pull up, hold together, or hold on draws on references in fashion, luggage, mental health settings and bondage. 

Spherical forms and curving fragments are code for constant movement and certain change. 

Internal Sources of My Endless Supply

Swathes of leather, textile, straps and symbols of circularity and whimsy dismantle the trope of downtrodden womanhood. 

Cards are a recurrent motif inspired by tarot. They suggest elements of chance and forms of forgotten knowledge we have the ability to access within. 

Tucks, pleats, ties, feathers, hand-stitching and knitting are foundational to the artist's practice as intervention and a ‘handmade recovery’.

Using the visual language of tailoring the piece aims to make viable the lightness required in the face of outdated systems and beliefs that would try to hold us back.
