I was brought up in a mining valley in South Wales and am now based in Bristol.
Using practice-led research and an embodied, multidisciplinary practice, I explore the liminal space I occupy today as a mother without children. Connecting my body with already meaningful materials – earth, coal and stone – has provided an intuitive way to explore grief and maternal narratives, and the role of culture in placemaking and identity.
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 permanent residency and project space based in inner city Stokes Croft, Bristol.
