Biography

I am a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist who works primarily in textile and photographic documentation. I am a recent graduate of Moray School of Art, graduating with First Class BA Fine Art with Honours. I am an autistic artist and also I have lifelong mental and physical health issues, both of these experiences inform my work a great deal, alongside my sexuality and gender identity. I am a process based artist who works on instinct, allowing the work to direct me. I am also heavily engaged in theory and research in the arts and primarily in the developing theories of craft based work. I am also embedded within community arts facilitation in my area and find some of my most formative experiences in art through this work.
