I grew up in a coal mining valley in South Wales, and am now based in Bristol at Spike Island Studios.
Through an embodied, site-specific practice, I make sprawling connections between land and body, somatics and personal mythology. Collaborating with the already-meaningful materials of the landscape – earth, coal and stone – I explore my identity as a mother without children, and the impact of culture and place on individuals, communities and land.
I’m actively engaged in creating opportunities for artists to work together in Bristol. In 2016 I launched The Unit, a temporary gallery project within the St James Arcade, Bristol. Realising this as an important part of my practice, I set up The Garage (2019), exchanging that for The Launderette in 2023 – a residency and project space based in inner city Stokes Croft, Bristol.
