鈥楾wenty-four homes鈥 2025. Ink pen on paper, 63.5cm x 172.2cm.
Artist statement
This ink drawing is an adaptation of the 24 places I have lived in or spent significant time throughout my life. Constantly moving meant that the meaning of a 鈥渉ome鈥 was not a fixed location, but rather a feeling or an idea. By adapting these individual locations into a dispersed yet interconnected composition, I aim to give form to the shifting and layered nature of home, presenting my experiences in a physical form and making home a tangible place rather than an idea to me.
