In my studio, the work has weaved and twisted over the years. Works moving back and forth, with painting, video, installation, and built canvases. Changing, crossing over, experiences, notions and information. With myself as site. My quest is consistent, to understand our existence and context.

Artist Statement:
I am a UK-based contemporary artist: the work seeks to loosen boundaries, currently using painting, built canvas, and mixed media. My practice explores living today, the shifting relationship between our human body, memory, and identity, in the age of fast evolving technology — a conversation between the physical-now and the posthuman. Drawing on influences from biology, philosophy, and psychology, my work invites reflection on the experience of living today.
My creative process is intuitive. I investigate how the body is experienced in contemporary culture — from the flesh-and-blood human to the technologically extended self and the technically stand alone self — drawing on thinkers including Stelarc, Hans Moravec, and Katherine Hayles. This journey is expressed through various means, video, layered surfaces, tactile marks, and constructed forms. I am site for the work My art expresses an evolving visual language.
Visual language, drawing, painting, installations, are my means to 'see' more, understand more. My way of thinking. Early works of people close to me, favourite places, memories, helping me to know who and where in the world I exist, looking out from inside. I remain site for my work, exploring my existence today.The term Posthuman, felt like a piece of a jigsaw, you know it is part of the whole, but what and where is it from? It excited me and led to questioning identity; mine, yours, the condition of our now existence.I consider myself a Now-Human.
