Gallery

Sculpture and assemblage created through an intuitive process of hand construction using found objects and materials gathered from the coastline of Anglesey, a place rooted in family history and deep personal connection.


The work reflects on memory where making becomes an act of reconnection. Through the process of transformation, what was once lost, discarded or forgotten is reimagined. Finding beauty in material decay shaped by natural forces, each pieces carries its own history and traces of time, quietly holding stories of loss, connection and renewal.
