East London based mix media artist transgressing ideas of accepted beauty through the deconstruction of the body. The strong cord that connects my work is the visual analysis on the onslaught of female homogeneous images and how technology shapes the vision and ideals of what is desirable.
My creative practice moves between art and design, teaming with industry clients creating installations, products and illustrations for Gilles Peterson, Boiler Room, Havana Club and British Council to working with diverse range of schools using art workshops as an expressive healing tool.
