ABOUT:

My work explores the intersection of addiction and desire from the perspective of a queer female, focusing on materials like glass, ceramic, and metal to question whether addiction is a disease or a form of biological desire. My aim is to remove stigma, break down societal barriers, and promote inclusion by highlighting addiction as a socio-cultural issue rather than an individual failing. Through art, I hope to create space for new conversations about recovery and representation.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
