At the core of my practice I use art as a vehicle for exploration and learning. Inspired by folk art, craft, religious iconography and popular culture, I create work using a variety of mediums such as performance, video, installation, sculpture, embroidery, costume making and painting. Context and location are important in informing and shaping the work. I am particularly interested in making work in the public domain as it offers an opportunity to test the work, to anchor it in the real world, as well as exploring ideas of identity, location and social structures.

My area of research this year is focused on ideas of beauty as well as studies of the meeting between craft and art. These explorations are seen from the vantage point of the home and studies of the self.
