Existing in the realm of the uncanny, my work straddles the line between hyper-realism and surrealism to create absurd yet recognisable realities that challenge prevalent and destructive social constructs. My fixation on the human ability to contemplate is at the core of my pursuit, which reveals the absurdity of the beliefs, behaviours and perceptions of our species.
	As I often approach these themes through the lens of my own frustration and vulnerability as a woman, I explore the phenomenon of consciousness and what it is to be self-aware. Using the body as an emissary, I probe the delicate boundary between our internal and external self, describing the impact societal perceptions of gender roles, value systems and class divides have on our suffering consciousness. This investigation culminates in bizarre, bodily sculptures that emphasise the restrictive bond we have with our flesh and the social situations that come along with it. Existentialist theories, such that of De Beauvoir and Sartre, resonate with my own musings about identity and societal behaviour, fueling the manifestation of my work and providing solace in an upturned, modern society.  

As a sculptor, material usage and skill-based processes become integral to my practice, in which I sculpt by hand each wrinkle, crease and pore of the skin we are confined within. Working in an array of materials, most notably silicone and glass, I create grotesquely life-like work that begs the viewer's contemplation, while initiating difficult, but critical, conversations.
