In 2024, I began an MA Fine Art at the University of Brighton, giving myself two years to question, experiment and push beyond the edges of my painting practice.

​

What followed was an exploration of memory, identity, material and the ways we experience art - through painting, installation, photography, found and inherited objects, analogue projection, light, sound and participation.

​

Projects including Between Seeing and Remembering, The Booth, Slide Night and the final CONTAIN installations allowed me to follow ideas without knowing where they would lead.

 

Along the way, I became increasingly interested in creating the conditions for an experience rather than controlling its outcome - an idea that continues to shape both my installations and paintings.

​

This is a selection of that postgraduate work: experiments, research and projects that expanded my understanding of what my practice could be.

​

The materials and forms change. The threads remain: colour, light, memory, material and lived experience.
