Statement 

My work is preoccupied with childhood as a system for making meaning, and the mythologies that emerge from it. Through the uncanny, the unreliable and the hyperreal, I explore the emotional residue left by forgotten media, spaces and technologies. I’m interested in how these shape experiences of loss, loneliness, identity, confusion, grief and class. The popular culture and media that we ingest form an internal architecture in our early years: television, music, books, toys, cinema, logos, confectionery, clothing, overheard conversation. Nostalgia acts as both a comfort and a disruptor as I move through the digital, rural and emotional landscapes haunted by absence and decay.
