Current Work — Sculpture & Community, 2023—

Sculptural and community-based work exploring menopause, ecology, and what it means to be human — a body understood as porous, cyclical, and entangled with other living systems.

A pale wax sculpture of a seated figure, hunched forward, with a lit candle flame rising from the top of the head and wax dripping down the arms and hands.

The same pair of seated figures, seen from behind, facing each other.
Breathing, II Reverse view
Rows of identical small white plaster figures, seen from behind, with one figure near the front hand-painted in bright, saturated colour.
