‘The human- animal relationship has always been something that has fascinated and confused me simultaneously. I use animals in my work as a catharsis for the conflicting feelings I have around the issue and to make people think about the way in which they view animals. Polly Morgan and Damien Hirst have been big influences for me, Hirst in particular since I was young. The fragility of birds is something I find very beautiful and they are a running theme throughout my work.’
