Installations

Wide view of the installation - red screenprint and boar costume on wall, wooden table with glass jug and open text on paint-splattered floor

The Pale Soft Palaces of Death

Interim Show

City & Guilds of London Art School — 18–26 March 2026

Painting

Oil painting divided between a grey military missile descending through a muted sage sky, a small black inset of a peachy bum with dollar bills tucked in her thong and the word 'win', and a close-up of a rolling human eye rendered in soft taupe — a collision of violence, desire, and surveillance

A Slow & Persistent Hum

Oil on canvas

2025

Textiles

A hand-dyed quilt laid on sunlit grass, an orange gecko resting on blue-and-white geometric fabric, the words AMONG SECRETS I AM SILENCE spelled in bright multicoloured letters across the lower border

Among Secrets I Am Silence

Quilt. Hand-dyed fabric; recycled materials.

2021

A textile work on green grass: deep magenta and brown body-like forms emerge in the upper half, while a rust-orange star blazes against blue-and-white chevron fabric below — an evocation of feminine power rising from patterned depths

The Emergence of Woman from the Cosmic Waters

Wall hanging. Hand-dyed fabrics; recycled materials.

2021

A quilt stretched on a lawn bearing the words ALL DEVOURING DEATH in blue-and-white mosaic-patterned letters, framed by vivid coral borders and a strip of amber — death rendered in the bright palette of the living

I Am All Devouring Death

Quilt. Hand-dyed fabrics; recycled materials.

2021

A wall-hung textile with dusty pink feet suspended against a dark ground, the words FAITH IS A CASCADE above, and a golden cascade of overlapping petal-like fabric pieces flowing downward — hung between vintage anatomy charts on a blue wall

Faith is a Cascade

Wall hanging. Hand-dyed fabrics (botanical); recycled materials.

2021

White appliquéd letters on black fabric read 'She is my refuge my fortress (Psalm 91:2)', a golden crescent moon glowing in the lower corner — the feminine divine invoked through hand-stitched scripture

She is My Refuge, My Fortress

Wall hanging. Hand-dyed fabrics; recycled materials.

2020

Ceramics

A pair of cream stoneware vessels with raised letters — the squat drum reads TIME, the taller column reads VICTORY — amber glaze pooling in the carved recesses, set against a deep teal wall

"I AM TIME" & "I AM VICTORY"

The Devine Glories. Pair of vases, stoneware.

2021

Two stoneware vessels: a tall, slightly leaning cylinder spiralled with the letters BRAHMAN beside a squat drum bearing BENZOS — the transcendent and the sedated, paired in cream clay against navy blue

"BENZOS & BRAHMAN"

Pair of vases, stoneware.

2021

A slab-built ceramic rectangle with the word MOTHER raised in bold relief across its face, white glaze breaking to terracotta at the sharp edges — monumental and tender, like an inscription between gravestone and love letter

Mother|Drifter

Vase, stoneware, glaze; 14×43×6.5 cm.

2018

Two ceramic dice — one small and pale, one large in dark gunmetal glaze — their circular pips pressed into the clay, the larger one open at the top as a vessel for flowers or chance

Untitled

Dice vase and pot; vase, stoneware, glaze. 20×20×20×20 cm; 8×8×8×8 cm.

2018

A ceramic toy train of three carriages in cream stoneware, each set on wheels decorated with dark blue spirals — a childhood object rendered in clay, poised between nostalgia and transformation

Metamorphosis

Planter, stoneware, glaze; 32×20×20 cm.

2018

A ceramic tableau on a shared base: a white tree with a cloud-like canopy facing a glossy black bird with a radiating crest and an enigmatic smile — a folk-tale encounter between innocence and the trickster

Only in the Forest can the Mind Remain Pure

Desk tidy, stoneware, glaze; 25×30×20 cm.

2018

A rough, patchy-glazed ceramic cylinder topped with a dramatic glossy black sun-like form, its spokes radiating outward — the word GIRLS raised on the vessel below, punk energy contained in clay

Girls

Planter, crank stoneware, glaze; 45×40×30 cm.

2017

Two small ceramic cylinders the colour of old parchment, one bearing SELF, the other OTHERS — sitting side by side like a philosophical sentence that refuses to close

Self and Others

Pair of cups; toasted stoneware, glaze.

2017
