Guided by an experimental and research-driven approach, she shifts familiar materials, techniques and typologies into new contexts, opening up imaginative perspectives on the everyday. Moving between functional objects and sculptural exploration, she engages closely with the spatial and ecological contexts in which the projects are embedded.
