I am a multidisciplinary artist working across poetry, photography and digital drawing. My practice incorporates performative elements through a recurring character who is physically always depicted as myself, yet exists within fictional narratives that shift with each project. This form of expression has given me freedom to depict myself in exaggerated, vulnerable and sometimes confronting narratives. Although the subject is visually autobiographical, I approach her as a constructed persona rather than a direct self-portrait, referring to her in the third person and treating her as a character moving through different narrative worlds.
I curate scenarios which integrate humour, irony, discomfort and vulnerability, and touch on recurring themes of fandom, sex, women’s health and the mundane. I am interested in the tension between viewers pitying her and then recognising aspects of themselves within her story. I aim confront the private ongoings behind closed doors that feel both personal and universally resonant, something viewers can potentially familiarise with. This is why the continuation of my bed is central throughout my practice.
My fascination with the bed stems from its duality as both a universal yet individual experience - a space so private yet common, where we spend a significant amount of time, holding traces of memory, routine, comfort, illness, pain, loneliness and intimacy. The unmade bed, along with her personal items evokes familiarity and emotional associations tied to our own private spaces. Living with OCD, the bed is a sacred space, which sparked a fascination in the textures and tones formed in the linens, becoming a recurring visual language.
The process is exceptionally time consuming, where I primarily use the trackpad on my laptop. The hyper-detailed nature of the work can be physically and mentally strenuous, yet the repetitive process can be therapeutic, mirroring the obsessive and ritualistic tendencies embedded within the subject matter itself.
