A series of brightly coloured and contrasting photographs of abstract self portraiture.

My emerging practice is print-informed, utilising different print techniques to talk to concepts of identity, belonging and connection. I'm interested in the malleability of materials and my works embrace the fluid nature of the mediums I use to express my ideas.

Same Colour:Different Shade (it's a metaphor bro!) was an experimental project made during the COVID-19 lockdown and the BLM movement. It provided time to reflect upon and recognise my own resilience, strength and self-determination as a Blak woman.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
