I am a sculptor based in London with a background in economics (BA, St Catherine’s College, University of Cambridge). A long-standing interest in the arts led me to pursue further studies including a History of Art course at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, painting courses at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art, and a Sculpture Diploma followed by a Post-Diploma at Heatherley’

My artistic practice explores the fluid boundaries between life and death, presence and absence, the real and the imagined. I am drawn to liminal spaces where arrival is never fixed and endings are never absolute — moments of profound transition, adaptation, and becoming. Through my work I examine how we live suspended between past, present, and future, clinging to the transient while memories shift, bodies break down, and emotions survive only as fragile traces.

I am particularly interested in the idea that what appears “lifeless” still carries the residue of experience — memory, touch, knowledge, and love. Natural forms and weathered objects become vessels for what has passed through them. I work with materials chosen for their emotional charge: the paradoxical fragility and endurance of clay, wood, glass, resin, bark, and found or discarded elements. These are combined to create visual and sensory languages that speak through association and feeling rather than direct narrative.

My sculptures and installations invite viewers to inhabit the in-between — to sense lingering life in apparent decay, the future stirring within transformation, and the persistent human impulse to hold what refuses to remain still. Light has become an important element, expanding the spatial and emotional dimensions of the work. I move comfortably between intimate scales and larger installations, always allowing the subject to determine the choice of materials and form.

Ultimately, my practice is a meditation on impermanence, resilience, and renewal. It honours the beauty and pain of transition, the cycles of loss and regeneration, and the understanding that nothing truly ends — it only transforms.
