Lives and works in London, England
—
Long periods of isolation since March 2020 have heightened my awareness of otherwise inconsequential phenomena within my domestic context. A willingness to accept these fugitive observations (as potentially significant) was bolstered by encountering Gaston Bachelard’s ‘The Poetics of Space’. Fleeting observations of refracted light, seemed to align with a sustained interest in the uncanny. The surfaces of my recent works are stitched together from remnants, each area acting as a qualifier for its neighbour. Incorporating hand-felted wool, image-transfer photography and industrially produced fabrics, these images allude to established conventions of abstract painting, while rejecting any dependencies on the autographic mark.

Artist Biography
I graduated in 2016 from Glasgow School of Art’s Painting and Printmaking course. Before beginning an MFA at The Slade in 2019, I generated two solo exhibitions for venues in Glasgow, Solaristics (2018) & Synthespians (2019). I have exhibited in several group exhibitions in the UK and abroad (New York, Tokyo, Hokkaido). My work was published in ‘Myth/Reality: Contemporary Artists from Scotland’ (Fabrica, 2018). I was selected for the Euan Uglow Scholarship, George & Cordelia Oliver Scholarship, RGI Open, Aon Community Art Awards, GY Arts Festival, DUST Rising's Every Other Seat Project and the 2021 SÌM Residency Programme (Reykjavik, Iceland).
