I am fascinated by narrative and motif – with the stories individuals and cultures tell themselves. I am especially interested in how the body can be the forum through which we tell and discuss our stories. My most recent works are drawings exploring the concept of ‘metamorphosis’, of how bodily changes affect our sense of who we are.
