I am currently studying Film and TV at Edinburgh College of Art. I grew up in Hackney, London, and completed an Art Foundation course in 2020 where my final film, A Loud Boom Through The Night, an experimental documentary, won first prize at the Swedenborg Film Festival. 

 

My work is often experimental in form, combining archive footage and stills, with my own moving image work, and narrative text. It also extends to short booklets (or chapbooks) which feature found images with my writing on the subject of women and the wilderness. I treat Instagram as I do my artwork; producing photographic and clip-based sequences in conjunction with poetic verses or a single sentence to make visual haikus.
