Studio residency at Bow Arts Trust, Shaftesbury Avenue.

Turps/MASS participant.

Inspired by joyous expressions of agency, I try to evoke these through figurative forms and the spaces they energise around and between them. The interplay of limbs sets in motion a cacophony of connections and conflicts. While revelling in the theatricality of disruption, I temper the violence of the hard edges and disintegrating structures with suggestions of humanity.
