About

I am a maker; of forms, of spaces, of sensations. My practice predominantly occupies 3D space in the realms of sculpture, installation or wearable art. Form, space and texture resonate deeply with me and I feel challenged to create immersive experiences through these elements. With training in Millinery and Jewellery, my practice often involves the physical manipulation of 2D materials into 3D forms and structures to evoke an emotional response in the viewer, in a subtle yet dramatic style. 

Neart explores the concept of strength; delicate, subtle strength. The strength that enables us to continuously put one foot in front of the other when we think we can’t. I am curious about what it is that gives us the strength to carry on in the midst of grief and pain. What finds its way into our weak spots and secretly holds us together, the way solder does in metal binding. Solder lines and joins are traditionally hidden and camouflaged, but what if they were exposed; celebrated even?
