About

I’m a Bristol based multi-disciplinary artist, community organiser & advocate for disabled people across the world. 

I take a radical, abolitionist, deconstructionist and utilitarian approach to each part of my practice. I make text, quilting, drawing & socially engaged works, driven by radical politics & woven with humour. I have spent the last 20 years navigating the benefits system in the UK, and have become a skilled advocate for all those who experience this system. 

My area of particular interest is empowering and improving the living conditions of disabled people who live with long term illnesses.  

I run 3 instagram accounts as a part of my work ‘@Invalid__Art, @AdaptiveMeals & @AdaptiveHacks’.  I use these accounts to share research, give advice, facilitate discussion, connect people who are isolated, as well as information gathering that benefits a marginalised audience.  

Quilting is core to my work, acting as both my studio & sketchbook to offer inspiration & creative respite (when I work, I’m usually wrapped in one). Quilts are inseparable from my passion for care & mending cultures - I weave images of them into my political care work. 

For me, they are the embodiment & visual language of care. 

My commitment to inclusion, community contribution & lived experience grew from 10 years with St Paul’s African & Caribbean Carnival (costume-making facilitator & board member).

Recent works include When I Feel Bad, commissioned for Human Libraries’ Soft Sanctuary, & an invited residency via Bella Milroy’s Mob Shop, exploring mobility aids & stores.
