In their own words
“My work centres on English landscapes. With a family history of migration to the UK and a childhood immersed in nature, I am drawn to unearth hidden histories, explore physical presence, and examine my personal connection to these landscapes. Embedded with national history and reflecting class, wealth, and colonial pursuits, these environments have become culturally diverse ecosystems, containing flora and fauna from across the globe.”
