ABOUT ME
I am a Fine Art student at Cardiff Metropolitan University, graduating in 2026. I previously studied at Hereford College of Arts, where I achieved a distinction.
My practice draws on interests in theatre, film, sculpture, and pottery, often incorporating found objects to explore material histories and meaning. Alongside my studies, I have worked with several theatre companies as a workshop assistant and trainee maker, experiences that have shaped my approach to making.
Storytelling sits at the centre of my work, guiding how I connect materials, processes, and audiences through layered, evolving narratives.
PORTFOLIO OF WORK
The Three Sisters of Plynlimon
In Welsh folklore, three sisters left the heights of Plynlimon, each determined to reach the sea. They became the rivers Severn, Wye, and Rheidol, flowing in their own ways across the land; One swift, one winding, one wild, until all three finally met the sea.
Mudlark
Fragments of mud-larked china are mosaiced on a table, accompanied by clay figures reading them like ancient texts. The piece explores memory and discovery, turning discarded remnants into a dialogue with the past.
River Offerings | Water Breaks it's Neck
Clay river fertility sculptures that gradually reconstitute into the landscape through the movement of water.
I created a short experimental art-house film blending animation, live performance, props, and shadow puppetry. The work explores texture, movement, and atmosphere, crafting a dreamlike space where imagination and craft converge.
Terraced Housing Love Story
Terraced Housing Love Story’ is a music video I created using shadow puppetry, blending music and storytelling through light and silhouette to evoke emotion in a unique, handcrafted way.
What Goes on Behind the Red Curtain
Work Experience
I’ve worked with Fetch Theatre Company, Ruby Gibbens, and Hummadruz on prop making, walkabout theatre, and puppet creation. I’ve also assisted in workshops, helping bring interactive theatrical experiences to life.
