Artist Statement
I am interested in how light completes work. Without a fixed outline, sculptures change with the viewer and the space.
My practice centres on material research and the translation of domestic processes into sculptural language. Using paper and thread — materials associated with care and ephemerality — I build forms that hold tension between fragility and strength.
The act of sewing is made visible, refusing to hide labour.
I am interested in how light completes work. Without a fixed outline, sculptures change with the viewer and the space. Shadow becomes drawing. Translucency becomes atmosphere.
I seek to exhibit work that invites slow looking and bodily engagement. Work is designed for large-scale presentation and responds directly to architectural space.
