Through a mixture of drawing, print and sculpture, my work explores the unseen human constructs and contexts that inform and guide my life; in particular, my inheritance and the social and political structures that shape my identity.
By working through a combination of natural and human-made materials I seek to test the fragility and tensions between these invisible forms, the process of making becomes a means to understand my entanglement and engagement with them.
