I am an artist  and researcher whose work combines performance, installation, drawing, writing, and collaborative practices to create works that consider my own and society’s increasingly complicated relationship with concepts of illness, care, and convalescence.

Utilising a range of mediums, my practice endeavours to develop alternate languages for describing episodes of psychological and physical suffering; unpacking experiences until they are either fully understood or fully exhausted. These works are often both episodic and durational in nature, with individual works becoming part of a larger series of tableaus. Everything is drawn out and takes place within intricately designed spaces that are often modelled on institutional landscapes and evoke a feeling of uncanny.

I recently finished my debut solo show 'inmate' at Platform Arts Belfast, and was selected to make new work in response to the MacLennan Archive at DJCAD. I am a studio holder at Flax Art Studios in Belfast and studied BA Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating with first class honours in 2018. I later graduated from the MSc in Psychological Science at Queen’s University Belfast in 2020, receiving distinction.
