Bio / CV

My work explores ways of visualising and communicating environmental change through installation, film, photography, performance and painting.

I’m currently working on a project called All This Stuff Is Killing Me, exploring ideas related to mass-consumption, personal identity and environmental change.

I’m a graduate of Central Saint Martins MA Art and Science programme. I was awarded a MullenLowe NOVA award for my on-going project exploring the impact of plastic on the environment. I’m a member of the Wilderness Art Collective and an alumni of The Arctic Circle.
