My work focuses on love and relationships as well as the various tensions and paradoxes that come with it. I am interested in the domestic space as a site of emotion and memory and have looked at how nostalgia and melancholy influence the way we perceive and reflect on the past.
My practice ranges from illustration to books, writing, moving image and animation. I draw from my own personal experiences to bring a sense of authenticity to my work and to most accurately convey emotion to an audience.
