Interdisciplinary Arts

I​ come from a world of maps, mountains and cross-country road-trips. My grandfather made maps, my mother followed them, and now they have been passed on to me. Born into a family of makers and inventors, I have always worked with my hands, engaging all sorts of processes. The physicality and visual language of materials is at the core of my practice as an interdisciplinary artist.

Community stories and collaboration inspire my work. Whether working on a drawing, a sculptural installation, or a print, there is always a sharing of stories and experiences underlying my projects. This is reflected in the layering of imagery, and materials in the work you see.
