I am UK based artist who's exhibited nationally and internationally. The main focus of my current studio practice is namely an investigation into the deconstruction of figurative sculpture using the collection and extraction of medical data.

My interest in the process of 3D printing and modelling lies in a desire to work against its connotation of facsimile and sameness and to instead render unique physiologies, exposing the corporeal fragility of the sitter or body from which the objects are derived. Physical damage to soft tissue becomes digital data, before being reprocessed as a macabre yet humorous trophy - a remnant of an individual battle with illness.
