I am interested in finding ways to express the architecture of womanhood using my personal experience as a starting point. It is through a process of intuitive drawing & painting that I clarify my interior positioning and leads to the development of site-specific participatory interventions that probe my wider perception of the exterior world and current social contexts. 

I use media that is appropriate to the question I pose, and offer up my architectural experiences through sculpture, installation and most recently, the digital sphere. They are a response to the lack of psychological security in our culture and the impact of our environment on our well being. I speculate about an architecture as a potential healing modality, exploiting the playful interaction as it takes place under the eyes of the visitor & our hyper-connected community as a result.
