If in doubt smile and wave was bad advice, (2024) is part of an ongoing series of text works exploring language and communication. My art practice explores themes of identity and validation through sensory-driven, expressive works. As an autistic woman, creating art is both a self-soothing process and an opportunity to convey how differently the world can feel. Faces, hands and bodies serve as both subjects and symbols of experience, connection and vulnerability, while rhythm, simplicity and irony encourage a visceral dialogue between the viewer and the artwork.
*Please allow for any minor colour differences in hue and tone due to the digitalisation required for online sales
