Following a PhD about Brecht, completed in 2021, I began to see art as capable of revealing emergent truths, conjuring alternate realities, and unsettling the structures that claim to define us. In this, I hope to create spaces of tenderness, strangeness, and radical possibility. This is Informed by a politics of feminist, queer, decolonising, and ecological drive.
The philosophical implications of non-dualism within art practice continues to shape my approach to making: in my work, painting becomes both image and presence, both narrative and sensation. The viewer is invited into a relational encounter—not to decode a fixed message, but to dwell in the space between forms, between selves.
I look to creative process as a disruptor and truth-teller. My work questions rigid societal norms, exposing the flaws, contradictions, and hierarchies that shape our world. Through mythological and liminal imagery, I try to amplify the voice of the mystic, the queer, the unconventional—creating space for those who live at the periphery.
