Her practice fundamentally explores how we engage with our environment and the people around us. Her work touches on urban planning, regeneration and social structures. She is interested in looking at the frisson that is created in our engagement with the world. She looks at how the individual exists in contemporary society: where we live, how we get from one place to the other and the obstacles that present themselves. How do we negotiate and fit into the world that we live in? Her work highlights, tugs at, and pulls apart these intersections to see what can be revealed.
