I grew up in a performing arts environment, raised by arts worker parents and surrounded by circus and theatre from an early age. This shaped my understanding of performance, audiences and the social life of art, which continues to inform how I approach making work.
I move through the world with a deep understanding of how artworks operate within systems of presentation, audiences and infrastructure, which continues to influence the conceptual and social dimensions of my practice. I'll make anything really- drawing, photography, sculpture performance, events- it's all the same to me.
​
My work is also informed by my experiences as a queer and neurodivergent person, and often explores emotional and psychological states through humour, fiction and character-driven forms.
