About me

I am a sculptor interested in our relationship with water and natural environments. I find endless inspiration in natural or man-made water filtration systems (water treatment plants, natural and constructed wetlands). I value the development process of a project during which I am normally driven by the physicality and texture of the materials. I call this ‘material thinking’ using steel, paper, clay, found natural and man-made objects, concrete, and other materials. My art is often interactive with educational and environmental elements. I invite people and animals to participate and create collaborative pieces together. I have also been exploring how art and science can work collaboratively and I’ve been lucky to have worked in partnership with organisations and experts such as London Wildlife Trust, Thames 21, The Hydrocitizenship Project, Water Risk Analyst Dr. Richard Bater, Water Aid Charity, UAL Estates Sustainability Department, and The Government Office for Science.

Projects

• Moon Transition SculpturesMade from repurposed tennis balls, these sculptures are inspired by the sea-side and all the shells in it, but also on the other hand your head goes up to the moon.
• From the Bottom of the SeaThe series of From the Bottom of the Sea Sculptures are white sensual objects. Their silky-smooth exterior is contrasting with the textures tunnelling inside them. The light and the air come through from all directions. Their titles are inspired like the sculptures themselves by the islands in Ria Formosa Natural Reserve in Portugal.
• The Rivers ProjectThe Rivers Project is a series of artworks, writings and discussions based on themes of rivers, water, and nature.
