Following experiences of drug-facilitated rape and several sexual assaults, my practice evolved into a vital framework for processing trauma, survival, and recovery. Through abstraction and embodied making, my work explores vulnerability, resilience, memory, and transformation, positioning artistic practice as both a site of resistance and a means of reconstruction. .
Art-making functions as a means of articulating experiences that resist language, enabling emotional transformation through material engagement. The act of making has become both cathartic and reconstructive, offering a process through which trauma may be externalised, examined, and reconfigured. My work demonstrates a sustained interest in material dialogue, particularly through the coexistence of contrasting textures, forms, and found elements. Sustainability plays a significant role within the practice, not solely as an environmental consideration, but as a conceptual reflection on repair, resilience, and renewal. Through continual reassessment and adaptation, the work remains intentionally open to unpredictability and change. Incidents commonly perceived as errors or accidents are instead embraced as generative moments capable of redirecting the trajectory of the work itself. Working intuitively across disciplines, I engageswith process as an evolving conversation between body, material, and memory. The resulting works occupy a space between fragility and resistance, where acts of reconstruction mirror broader attempts to negotiate survival, endurance, and self-renewal.
