Bristol
I am a Bristol -based artist working with themes of absence, memory and female identity in drawing and mixed media.

Most of my work focuses either on the figure, or intimations of it, or on empty interiors. It explores the borderland between absence and presence and between the familiar and the strange and addresses themes of memory and traces. I often return to motifs of women's clothing and wallpaper to suggest both a domestic context and vestiges and echoes of people who are no longer present. I am interested in the sense of the walls of empty homes holding narratives and presences within them.
