My fascination with objects and storytelling began as a child when my mother would wake me up in the darkness of a Sunday morning to a company her to our local car boot sale. We would set off on our bikes without knowing what awaited us, the mystery held within every box and on every tabletop sent my imagination into overdrive. Toys, Ornaments, Furniture, everything and anything, a world of history waiting to be uncovered.
For over two decades, my artistic practice has centred on the relationships between objects, memory, and narrative. I see objects not merely as materials, but as vessels of meaning deeply personal, historically layered, and powerful tools for storytelling. Through acts of repositioning and reframing, I create spaces where empathy, reflection, and connection can emerge, inviting viewers to engage not just with my story, but with their own.
Grounded in lived experience and shaped by themes of identity, trauma, and resistance, my work is a way of processing what often resists language. I am drawn to materials that bear time’s imprint objects that speak through their scars, wear, and history. Meaning unfolds through encounter: in how objects are placed, how space is navigated, and how memory is triggered.
Storytelling is central to my practice, and I’m currently expanding into film as a natural extension of this focus. Moving image allows me to deepen my exploration of narrative through time, sound, and rhythm adding new layers of emotional and sensory depth to my work.
Alongside my personal practice, I have worked extensively in a technical and production capacity within major institutions including Tate and White Cube, and in close collaboration with artists such as Theaster Gates, Michael Armitage, Ibrahim Mahama, Paul Dash, Oscar Murillo, Olafur Eliasson, Thomas Heatherwick, Mike Nelson, and Otobong Nkanga. I’ve also installed and cared for works by historical and contemporary figures including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Matisse, Donald Judd, Mark Rothko, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum, Anselm Kiefer, and Steve McQueen.
This dual perspective as both artist and technical collaborator has sharpened my sensitivity to material, space, and the transformative potential of careful, intentional making. It has also deepened my understanding of the responsibility of care: for artworks, for stories, and for the people who encounter them.
Ultimately, my work is about connection between object and body, past and present, self and other. By integrating storytelling across installation, object, and now film, I seek to build spaces of intimacy and dialogue where silence can shift into resonance, and difference can find common ground.
