Hello!
I'm an illustrator & photographer working with analogue, digital, and cameraless photographic processes, collage, archives, light-sensitive chemicals, and mark-making. My images are made both by hand and digitally.
Inspired by anthropology, psychology, windows, architecture, Victorian artefacts, botany, the subconscious, and celestial beings, I explore themes of identity, femininity, mysticism, ancestral beings, memory, and the body as a safe space.
