Artistic practice
Before I finished high school I worked with IDEA a programme that put design students and charities together. This initial exposure gave my practice a design bent. I enjoy working in a variety of mediums especially stretching them beyond what they are conventionally supposed to do. Currently I am working with found natural elements with a focus on sustainability and decay.
