Artist statement:
Working with monstrosities, weirdness, and care, I bring underdog perspectives into the light. I’m an interdisciplinary artist with a practice informed by critical theory and lived experience, engaging with materiality to examine systems of power, care, and exclusion.

I work with film, painting, textiles, text, costumes, and drawing — often combining different media and methods to delve into themes such as taboo, queerness, social structures, dehumanisation, violence, mental health, politics, and sexuality.

Over the past year, I have been working with the theme “Monsters, Myth, and Society” as a conceptual framework. This approach is inspired by monster theory, which explores how societies construct and project fear onto the “other.” By asking who gets demonised — and who gets to speak — I use monsters as a lens to investigate systems of power, exclusion, and resistance.
