I am a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist whose practice consists of photography, moving image, sound, and sculpture.
Having grown up in a single-parent family as a person of mixed race and in a predominately white environment I am sensitive towards and conscious of what it means to belong and find myself committed to exploring through my practice notions around race, class, gender, and diasporic culture and identities.
I’m particularly interested the ways in which the past and the present intersect and histories that are forgotten and often misrepresented. I believe that by amplifying the voices and experiences of people from marginalised communities we can begin to challenge concepts around how we can both resist certain kinds of conservative representation and at the same time create new and exciting representations.
