Statement:
I am a multidisciplinary artist, witch and intuitive tarot reader based in East London, UK. My creative practice perches playfully on the intersections between art-making, visionary experience and mythopoesis, drawing on the archetypes of contemporary culture and historical narratives alike to spin new spells towards collective transformation.
My approach is both mythopoetic and visionary, I use my own intuitive insights to guide me across the treacherous terrain that connects the contemporary to the archaic, presenting elements of popular culture alongside arcane symbolism. In this I attempt to show the primordial as alive and kicking in prime time entertainment. For me, world-building is a form of spell-crafting, helping us to reverse the hex of disenchantment and reimagine the myths we live by.
I graduated from Goldsmiths University with a First Class Honours in BA Fine Art & History of Art in 2016. After spending several years cultivating and combining my spiritual and art practices, I am now enrolled on MA Visual Communication at Royal College of Art.

Persephone's Cup | Gameplay
For the past few years I have been captivated by the myth of Persephone and her capture by Hades to rule as his queen in the underworld. Drawing on this myth and my own personal experiences with shadow work and healing, ‘Persephone’s Cup’ was born. ‘Persephone’s Cup’ is a multi-level interactive game which features Persephone as a pig trapped in the underworld after she has been captured and torn away from Pipkyn the elf and the Heavenly Garden. The player navigates both Pipkyn’s and Persephone’s worlds which run in parallel. These are connected by the Wheel of Fortune, which spawns the player by chance in each of them, as either Pipkyn or Persephone respectively. Spatial sound provides a simulated meditative sound walk in both worlds, with the dark, brooding tones of the underworld contrasting with ,the uplifting acoustics of the Heavenly Garden. The developing work is an activation of the archetypal interplay of opposites, in which darkness and light seek to integrate.
Immersive sound as part of gameplay environment.
