The work interrogates ,materiality, surface and transformation, where the body and paint coalesce in a state of flux. Engaging with ‘leakiness’ as both process and metaphor, my practice disrupts fixed boundaries, allowing skin, pigment, and texture to bleed into one another. Handles, usually markers of control, become ambitious gestures, anchoring touch while inviting dissolution. The concept of collapse, whether physical, conceptual or temporal, introduces a dynamic instability, resisting stasis, My work embraces erosion, absorption and impermanence, embodying a world where structure is never absolute, but always in motion, responding to touch time and the traces left behind. What The Skin Won’t Hold, taking the form of a vitrine takeover at the new building of London College of Fashion, presents a body-like form held within a glass cube, yet never fully contained by it, as it gathers, folds and looms against the surface, appearing on the verge of leaking out.
