Angel May 2024 21 x 30 cm Archive magazine cut-out, silver gelatin print, archive paper.
The process of assembling a selection of papers, pairing the print together with archival paper clippings, is akin to
the choreography of a dance, exacting and gestural.
Aria September 2023 17 x 23 cm Inkjet print, watercolour paper, archive book paper and cover.
Printing onto archival papers links the past to the present. In an act of force, echoing the desire for
liberation present in the image, the print was torn into four sections and re-assembled.
Après un rêve (After a Dream) August 2023 25 x 36 cm Archive magazine clippings, acrylic paint, archive book paper,
watercolour paper.
Piecing together fragmented archive magazine clippings, from the French cinema magazine L’Avant Scène Cinéma,
reveal the inner workings of the unconscious.
Wishful Thinking May 2022 23 x 30 cm Archive magazine clippings, watercolour paper.
Two film stills taken from the magazine L’Avant Scène Cinéma. One, a haunting figure, and the other, an abstract, feverish image.

This work, comprised of four collages displayed together as one piece, was created using found photographs taken by my father during his youth living in Athens. These photos began as personal memories. Yet through the use of cropping and printing on archive papers, they were transformed into anonymous stories.
Solitude September 2019 19 x 23 cm Silver gelatin prints, archive paper and book cover.
Born from a chance encounter with a stranger, this collage, folded into two as if an open book, attempts to tell a tale of solitude.
She Bought the Flowers Herself August 2019 20 x 21 cm Found photograph, watercolour paper.
This work could be interpreted as an ode to Virginia Woolf’s Clarissa Dalloway. Joyous from the simple pleasures of the everyday, Clarissa attempts to discern meaning in her life, and disrupts and critiques traditional ideas of gender in the twentieth century.
Tree Inside My Mind November 2018 16 x 22 cm Silver gelatin prints, canvas.
When two separate images are torn and then coalesced into a new whole, multiple threads of meaning can be unravelled.
The tree is a symbol for growth and the thirst for knowledge, and when paired with a figure, becomes a catalyst for the inner workings of the mind.
Girl with Textiles December 2018 21 x 26 cm Silver gelatin print, stipple paper, handmade unryu shi washi paper.
An experiment with texture, layering and performance, this self-portrait is a playful exploration of the self.
It is further a study of the many roles we perform, including that of the artist.
