About

I am an artist, writer, and researcher based in the North of England. My work explores performative, photographic, and autofictional approaches to a contemporary feminine experience within visual and networked economies. It is driven by a close engagement with critical theory, particularly drawing on discourses surrounding sexual difference, desire, and the writing of Hélène Cixous.

I have recently completed my practice-based PhD at Leeds Beckett University. My thesis is titled Returns to the Bed: Practices of Écriture Féminine in Visual Economies.
