After leaving behind a 20-year legal career to revive my lifelong passion for artistic expression, I recently graduated from UAL’s Foundation course and will pursue to a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at The Slade to prepare for a career as sculptor.

An exploration of space, physical forces of the Earth and the theory of material agency. Binding air and helium with low materials (surival blankets, salvaged sack trolley, nylon thread), I aimed to challenge our perception of the World via a contrasting piece, engaging viewers' personal sensory experience while inviting them to take a step back from their daily lives. Interested in leaving work open to individual interpretations, I wonder: What's yours?
