I’m interested in processes of ageing and in questioning the assumption of inevitable decline. Working with video, photography, sculpture, and drawing, my practice looks at how social connections shape belonging and relationships. I’m drawn to how tenderness can carry hints of threat, and how vulnerability and power are intertwined. My video work is shaped by collaborative engagement and sustained observation of repetition and gesture. I often focus on older people and the social spaces they occupy, paying attention to routines, conversations, and shared activities that become modes of communication and support.
