As a multidisciplinary artist working across ceramics, illustration and printmaking, I use material culture to explore transmasculinity, queer intimacy and family relationships. Drawing from tattoo design, classical sculpture, domestic craft traditions and queer archival material, I examine how identity is carried, inherited and performed across both the body and within the home.
Growing up queer and trans in the UK drives me to explore societal expectations around masculinity, belonging, sexuality and survival. I often reference queer and trans representation within historical periods that have been overlooked, or purposefully excluded drawing connections between decorative and political expression. Through these influences, I explore what it means to archive queer and trans lives within objects designed to outlive the body itself.
Across my fine art practice, I create pieces that function as both personal relics and acts of resistance. Ceramic plates, body casts, hand-drawn decals and sculptural forms become sites for storytelling, preserving traces of queer life and trans experience through processes associated with inheritance, sentimentality and domesticity. My practice is deeply informed by familial relationships and shared making, particularly through learning alongside my mother, who is also a ceramicist. I subvert mediums often associated with cleanliness, fragility and purity to create works that evoke a sense of rebellion.
At the centre of my practice is a desire to celebrate queer resilience, resisting shame and rigidity in favour of softness and visibility as forms of survival.
