A ledger of work made from bed, bedroom and kitchen.

This website is an ongoing archive of biomaterial sculpture, access design, and ecological ethics. Rooted in lived experience, my practice develops disability theory through multisensory and infrastructural forms. These systems are shaped by cybernetic craft across material, digital, and conceptual practices.
