"In my practice I investigate the role of support systems (both structural to infrastructural) in our everyday lives. Through reinterpreting our relationship with our built and natural environment, I use architectural and visual queues from places of healing and contemporary 'Wellness Spaces' to explore how our surroundings affect us. My work brings together a wide range of somatic experiences which uses destination architecture and pavilions as a means of exploring and building therapeutic assemblages. I am currently exploring self-sustaining structures, community builds, circular economy and the future of housing, in relation to our basic needs and desires."
