My work is centred around the concept of space, this can be understood as physical area, but also as, attention, duration, and occupation. I am interested in exploring how certain people, histories and events have been rewarded in society with space and thus become systematically preserved, while others are overlooked or erased. When something is allowed to hold space, it becomes embedded within the narratives we preserve; equally, what is denied space risks disappearing from collective memory entirely.

I work primarily with oil painting and charcoal, using these as the foundational mediums within my practice. These works form the core of my projects, while other processes such as decoupage, oil pastels and analogue photography are used as supportive work to test, clarify and articulate ideas as they develop.

Through this body of work, I aim to examine how space operated as a platform for meaning and value. By focussing on historical absence and marginalised presence, the work seeks to question whose stories are remembered, whose are forgotten, and how these processes continue to shape our understanding of the past and present.
