About me
b. 1997 in London. I'm a multimedia artist, making work at the intersection of site-specific installation, curation, research-creation and the expanded field of drawing.

I've exhibited my work across the UK, including in London, Southampton, Portsmouth and Reading, and have recently started my postgraduate studies at The University of Oxford.
