The human figure occupies a central position within my practice. My experiences as a sea swimmer provide an ongoing source of visual and conceptual inspiration, shaped by the presence of fellow female swimmers and the coastal environments we inhabit. My work examines the interaction between figure and environment, the transient postures adopted as we balance and move, and the relationships formed within this community of swimmers.
