.My artistic practice is commonly depicting a diverse range of entangled bodies thatembody the narratives of interconnectivity, Naturecultures and multispecies

practices. This often results in sculptures that possess a certain hybrid kinship asmy outlook and aesthetic is also surrealistic. It is my belief that much of mypractice is looking to de-construct binary divisions such as Nature/culture,

Human/animal and efforts to challenge the current status quo in which human issovereign. This calls for consolidating the enmeshed and parallel paths of livesthat are often allied with humans. I think my practice has an overall apocentric

concern, but perhaps more obviously, display my love and awe for the spontaneity,creativity and intellect in nature.
