Artist Statement

My practice centres on the collection and documentation of experience, memory, and the traces of human presence. I am interested in the gaps that emerge as I move between environments, materials, and mediums—gaps that I understand as both physical and conceptual. These absences resonate with the spaces left by oppressive systems that have fractured queer histories and lived experience, where continuity has been disrupted and knowledge has often been excluded from institutional forms of record.

Within this instability, I consider how queer communities have learned to navigate discontinuity: taking leaps across missing narratives, improvising forms of belonging, and building provisional yet resilient ways of making home. My work reflects this condition of movement and reconstruction, positioning sculpture, drawing, painting, and performance as ways of holding and reassembling what has been overlooked, displaced, or unrecorded.

I work across these mediums to foreground stories that are not traditionally collected through institutional archives, often engaging with narratives of queerness and otherness. These works are shaped by attentiveness to natural cycles and respond directly to site, drawing connections between inner and outer landscapes. In doing so, I explore how memory and material can act as carriers of both personal and collective histories, forming temporary structures through which fragmented experiences might be held and reconsidered.
