Art disciplines: Drawing and painting, Mixed media, Sculpture

Sculptural works on paper and mixed media paintings characterised by their textured surfaces.
My work explores the tension between structure and fragmentation, and the ways time and process impact memory and perception.

Central to my current practice is the grid: a formal structure through which I investigate impermanence, memory, and the fragility of systems. Influenced by ancient tiled floors, Islamic ceramics, and architectural forms encountered in Sicily and Spain, I draw inspiration from geometric repetition and the silent histories embedded in worn surfaces.

Natural processes, weathering, and the surfaces of the built environment all feed into my practice: my work embodying an engagement with time, decay, and the impossibility of completeness: a meditation on transience, memory, and our enduring search for meaning through what remains.
