I’m a visual artist from Teesside, currently based in Glasgow. In my work, I am deeply influenced by Queer Ecology and Cyberculture theories such as posthumanism, cyborg ontology, and glitch feminism. I gather anecdotes from research topics such as zoology, posthumanism, cyborg ontology, glitch feminism, and botany. Through sci-fi themes, I seek to challenge anthropocentrism and celebrate the commonalities that unite an ecology.
I graduated from Goldsmiths University in 2020, where I studied BA Design, a course that encouraged a strong understanding of critical and speculative design and ethical debate throughout the creative process. I am currently a student at The Glasgow School of Art, studying on the MFA course.
My artistic career began during the lockdown in 2020 when I focused on developing my digital art and software engineering skills. Transforming doodles from my sketchbooks into 3D renders and augmented reality assets and sharing these developments online. As a result, I gained interest from local galleries and have since showcased my work in multiple group shows. I have been featured at Pineapple Black, The Auxiliary, Middlesbrough Institute for Modern Art and many more galleries and events nationwide.
My first film, The Air in Cyberspace, has been screened at several film festivals, including the London Short Film Festival, Both Sides Now Hong Kong, Manchester Lift of Festival and Rianne Pictures Women X.
The Air in Cyberspace is a Sci-Fi animation depicting cyberspace as a parallel universe. A datascape of information seeping from the physical world to a geographical, abstract ocean of electric bioluminescence. Inspired by cyberculture theories, The Air in Cyberspace depicts the start of self-organising cyborg existence.
I am currently developing a new film that focuses more towards my queer ecology research and explores the modern relationship between humans, the digital, and natural world.
