(b. Sutton, 1997)
Artist Statement
My practice explores the political and poetic potential of unannounced encounters within the everyday. Working across public space, bureaucratic and legal structures, and embodied gestures, my work engages with themes such as colonial memory, the co-option of art within acts of privatisation, and alternative forms of memorialisation.
As physical and immaterial interventions with an emphasis on site-specificity, my projects reveal themselves (sometimes very slowly) within existing systems and networks. Using a vernacular language as a medium, objects such as birdboxes, beer bottles, and lime bikes become vehicles of whimsy, critical exchange, and direct action. For example, a series of public sculptures as birdboxes for red-listed birds are installed with the intention of infiltrating and disrupting future planning applications for luxury developments. Or, in 2024 I legally changed my name to re-remember and correct a generational family myth tied to British imperial memory. In each case, the work camouflages itself within unexpected, often non-art contexts, hoping to present itself in serendipitous everyday situations.
