“I graduated from Leeds Arts University with a BA in Fine Art in 2021. Through my time living and working in Leeds my practice has progressed into three-dimensional work complemented by moving image. As an artist, I produce works of a semi auto-biographial nature. I resonate with the identity of a confessional artist. My sculptures serve as an entry point for dialogue and reflection. As I navigate my own experiences with mental health and confront social stigmas head-on, my art continues to evolve. It remains a vessel for personal growth and a means to advocate for change in our society.
This installation is my experience of my endometriosis diagnosis in the form of a sculptural diary. Touching on women’s health with a feminist approach.
I am part of three collectives under the names of ‘We Didn’t Fancy’ (this collective holds exhibitions regularly in local areas), ‘Vega Collective’ and ‘Ball and Chain’. I also curated my debut solo show at Headrow House last year.”
