ABOUT
I’m a visual artist whose practice spans drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. The underlying theme of my work revolves around the relationship between humans and their environment. This manifests in commentaries on matters such as feminism, environmentalism, or international conflict/solidarity.
Through an uncanny yet dreamy imagery and titles that allude to the often political origins of the works, I invite the viewer to explore and question the complexity of today's social climate and the contradictions in their own attitudes towards the issues depicted.
