About



Art Practice
My practice is interdisciplinary and I’m interested in the interplay and overlap between digital and non-digital ways of making art. My work so far has incorporated; video, projection, digital drawing, 2D wire sculpture, illustration and paper collage.

Experimenting with new techniques and testing new ways of working is part of my process and I enjoy being playful and allowing new outcomes to emerge. I don’t focus on a particular theme, but a common thread throughout my work is the interconnectedness within different systems.

My installations have included interactive and playful elements, interrupting the traditional relationship between art and observer, inviting the viewer to become part of the work.
