The process of making is central to my practice as personal bodily interaction with material leaves a sense of physical human contact. My work is performative, drawing inspiration from West African casting processes manifested as technical rituals. I am motivated by the symbiotic dialogue formed between material and body and the different languages this creates.  

I enjoy playing with materials that have a willingness to be transformed both in form and texture, such as plaster. Engaging with factors such as viscosity that make up a material or comparing hardness and softness, is for me, what forms an interesting image.  

Plastering together the separation between display and form that the gallery creates, informs a cycle of relations between the sculptures and the space they come into contact with. 

Although I often leave my work to speak for itself visually, the inclusion of undertones of the exploration of issues such as elitism and misogyny is important; for example, awareness of the bias gendering of materials as a woman sculptor.  

I invite my audience to take a second reading of my work, since “everything is not always as it seems”…
