Originating with an interest in the body and its functions, my practice draws from psychoanalytic theory, interpreting bodily manifestations of thoughts. I am continually investigating the uncanny as a specific interest, in which a strange and eerie feeling, or experience, is generated through an encounter with something familiar in an unexpected setting.

This research area has currently been influencing my investigation of women’s health and the position of the female body as uncanny within health care settings and medical research, particularly through the lens of endometriosis. A condition in which endometrial-like cells grow out with the uterus but behave in the same way, these wandering cells reflect a wandering womb, creating an uncanny creature existing within the female body.
