​​I make art about structures and the soft things inside. Using grids and domestic imagery, I make work about relationships, comfort and the home. I use pairings: hard and soft, a body and a house, one and two, looseness and rigidity. These contrasting elements clash or combine to illuminate narratives around desire, reliance and confinement. I look at bodies and their relationship to other bodies and the home through a female gaze. It’s also a gaze shaped by living in houses; suburban houses and inner-city bedrooms, I’m trying to capture the intensity of emotion I often feel inside a house or specific room. These include feelings of longing, frustration, boredom, intimacy and loneliness. Recently my work focuses on the entanglement of intimacy and the contradictions of togetherness and separateness.
