My practice works across installation and performance, using biomaterials and sensory processes to explore how materials shape our bodies, environments, and ways of understanding. Through cooking, melting, and transforming substances, I explore the behaviours and limits of the materials I create.

I have developed an embodied, tactile understanding of the materials I use. I build knowledge through hands-on experimentation, and daily interaction with the materials I create. Each bioplastic or dye mixture I make evolves through intuition and experience; it is a process of discovery as much as creation. Although the materials remain constant, no two works are the same.
