Currently in 4th year studying fine art at Gray’s School of Art. Through my practice, I examine our collective nostalgia for domestic spaces, specifically homes in Aberdeen, and the careful rituals we perform to preserve what matters. I’m drawn to the objects we choose to keep close, the ones we dust weekly and position just so—each item a small monument to memory and belonging. 

My work considers how we age alongside our cherished possessions, how we become curators of our own histories through the things we choose to repair, protect, and pass down. These familiar patterns and preserved objects speak to a universal longing for warmth and connection, even as they tell deeply personal stories about care, time, and the spaces we call home.
