Like most female artists, all of the works on this site were made on a low to mostly no budget. I construct everything myself, from CAD Design, welding, programming, photography, film, editing and utilise found objects. I have sketchbooks full of ideas for ambitious and provocative large scale projects that I would love to make. If you are interested in sponsoring a project or becoming a patron then please contact me.
You can see my work this year at the V&A (Sept), Barbican Centre (May - Oct), Whitechapel Gallery (June - Aug), Humber St Gallery (July - Oct) as well as some smaller venues.
