A determination to survive at whatever fragile level you can achieve."
by Louise Bourgeois

My artistic practice begins with careful observations of everyday life and the fragile relationships that exist between people, non-human beings, materials, places, memory, and the natural world. Rather than illustrating these relationships directly, I seek to reveal the invisible structures that connect them as sucs as acts of care, vulnerability, communication, faith, loss, and transformation.

Each project starts by asking how these relationships might be experienced rather than simply represented. I investigate how architectural spaces, objects, movement, sound, participation, and new technologies can evoke memories and encourage viewers to reflect upon their own experiences. I am particularly drawn to situations that challenge my existing knowledge, deliberately placing myself in unfamiliar environments where I must learn new processes, collaborate across disciplines, communicate with professionals, and combine emerging technologies with traditional making.

Alongside the practical process of making, research develops through a series of questions: What is the hidden element within this relationship? What remains unseen? How can traces of actions performed over time communicate memory, presence, or spiritual experience? These questions become the foundation of the project development.

Clay is often my first research material. Working directly with my hands allows ideas to emerge through touch, enabling me to understand the structure or the ‘spine’ of a project before translating it into print, installation, sculpture, moving image, or augmented reality. Physical making remains central even when digital technologies become part of the work. Within projects such as Clay and Augmented Reality (CAR), AR extends the understanding rather than replaces material practice, allowing physical objects to become repositories of memory whose meanings continue to evolve through interaction and reinterpretation.

Across my practice, the line has become both a visual language and a research methodology. A line records movement through space, measures duration, accumulates quantity, and reveals relationships that unfold over time. It can function simultaneously as a timeline, a record of repeated actions, and evidence of long-term investigation presented in 2D, 3D and AR forms.

In Lines of Reproduction, the line traces biological and emotional connections between generations, exploring care, vulnerability, and the transmission of life. In Bridge, lines become pathways linking people, places, and communities, reflecting processes of encounter and reconciliation. In Lines of Prayer, thousands of hand-carved lines transform biblical Psalms into contemplative visual forms, where repeated gestures mirror the rhythms of prayer, memory, and spiritual reflection. Within CAR, the accumulation of lines, gestures, and digital layers represents an extended research process in which repeated observation gradually reveals new understandings of memory, perception, and embodied experience.

Repetition plays an essential role in this methodology. Rather than seeking immediate conclusions, I allow ideas to develop through sustained engagement over months or years. Lines carved into linoleum, drawn in clay, traced through movement, mapped in augmented reality, or formed through thousands of words from the Psalms, the line consistently functions as a record of time, embodied action, and relationship. Accomulation of lines become evidence of thinking itself, persistence, efforts and the gradual emergence of knowledge. The finished artwork therefore represents not only an outcome but also the visible trace of an ongoing process of enquiry.

Since 2016, I have developed commissioned projects, Arts Council England-funded research, participatory workshops, and artist-led exhibitions exploring social values, compassion, memory, faith, and the role of creativity in diverse settings. Although each project addresses a different subject, they share a common aim: to make visible those relationships and experiences that often remain hidden, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and discover new ways of understanding themselves, others, and the world they inhabit.
