I am a multimedia artist working in Edinburgh, Scotland. My work encapsulates my own experience with bipolar disorder and mood dysregulation.
I communicate and interogate the complexities and extremes through a personal language of jarring mark making, juxtaposed with representational objects.
My research explores the challenges of trauma survivors, creating a visual narrative of their experiences with intent to interact with and create a necessary dialogue around mental health to society at large.
Exposing mental illness is a vital part in gaining public recognition, to address a vastly misunderstood area.
