My practice is rooted in a kinaesthetic fascination with our sensorial dialogue with the world around us. I explore how sensation and material perception inform one another, drawing on and expanding our sensory literacy and capacity for vicarious empathy. I place my body within making practices, unpicking the interplay between materials, tools, worksurfaces and their traces, where industrial, clinical and domestic associations intersect. These intersections give rise to tensions between fragility and robustness, support and constraint, discomfort and relief. Process is the work: an ongoing dialogue in which body–material entanglement gives rise to artefacts of embodied knowing.
