I am an artist based in London and a graduate in Ba Fine Art Photography at Camberwell College of Arts and Ba Photography at Falmouth University, where I spent the first year of my degree.

My practice is research-based and spans across diverse subjects and media. However, it is often routed in unpicking and questioning cultural blind spots. I aim to critique the dominant cultural narrative of history by focusing on minority experiences and exposing blind spots in the archive. I approach my practice from my individual context and use that to consider themes such as family, the postcolonial and psychological space. My work often retains a relationship to the photographic in both traditional and more experimental forms. I tend to use the image as a means to making conceptual proposals tangible.  

My current project is an exploration into the Anglo Indian community, a mixed raced culture born out of colonial occupation of India by the Portuguese, French and English. I ask the viewer to consider how the junctures of migration and decolonisation act as catalysts for British national amnesia, through spoken word and by intercepting the natural deterioration of archival images. The embroidery works centre my ancestral oral narratives and enter the domestic as refuge for an alternative chronicle of history. 


In the past I have sought traces to communicate the physicality of sound. Photographing the enigmatic and invisible is an enduring theme that underpins much of my work. This can be seen in my project ‘Adelphi’ which uses traditional analogue photographs to manifest a physical space that reflects the psychological relationship between sisters. This was motivated by a lack of true archetypes for this relationship due to a largely male documentation of history.
