2026
Chianciano Biennale, Italy

Proud to share 'Hope' was selected for the Chianciano Biennale. 'Hope' is a suspended gesture poised between movement and stillness. Modelled from life in clay, the human arm, viewed from the front, is distilled into a single expressive form charged with intensity. Balancing endurance and fragility, the sculpture reflects moments of uncertainty in which resilience emerges through tension and release. Its elongated curve evokes both resistance and surrender, drawing attention to the emotional weight carried within the body. Through gesture alone, 'Hope' evokes an emotional experience that transcends language and culture.

2025
Florence Biennale, Italy

London Art Biennale, United Kingdom

Honoured 'Tied in Tradition: Threads Unseen' was displayed at the Florence Biennale and selected for the London Art Biennale. 'Tied in Tradition: Threads Unseen' explores the relationship between cultural heritage and individual identity. Depicting a figure of Chinese heritage, the sculpture reflects the balance between honouring tradition and embracing contemporary expressions of self, symbolised through a loosely tied traditional knot and an ear piercing. The work comprises two portraits of the same subject. They are not merely duplicates but are positioned to suggest a silent conversation, highlighting both the tension and harmony between shared heritage and personal evolution. Together, they invite a deeper exploration of identity and belonging. Modelled from life in clay, the paired sculptures capture strength through subtle expression. The portrait fragment 'Threads Unseen' focuses attention on the face, neck and hairline, encouraging reflection on the invisible threads that connect cultures, generations and individual identity.

2024
Chianciano Biennale, Italy

Art Unlimited International Open Art Competition, United Kingdom

Teravarna Art Gallery – 12th Animal Art Competition, United States

Humbled that 'Pathfinder of Liberty' was selected for the Chianciano Biennale; 'Spirito Italiano' for the International Open Art Competition and 'Shakti: Spirit of the Tigress ' for Teravarna Art Gallery. 'Pathfinder of Liberty' is a portrait sculpture of the African American Harriet Tubman, modelled in clay from archival photographs. The sculpture honours Tubman's courage, resilience and lifelong commitment to freedom. Having escaped from slavery, she went on to guide many others to freedom through the Underground Railroad. In later life, she founded a home providing care, dignity and shelter for elderly African Americans. She is depicted wearing the lace shawl presented to her by Queen Victoria in recognition of her extraordinary humanitarian achievements and enduring legacy. The inscription, attributed to Harriet Tubman, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer", is presented in tactile large print, braille and audio, extending the portrait beyond physical likeness and allowing audiences to encounter her legacy through touch, sight and sound. Through portraiture and accessible interpretation, 'Pathfinder of Liberty' celebrates Harriet Tubman's extraordinary life and enduring contribution to freedom, equality and justice. 'Spirito Italiano' is a portrait modelled from life in clay. The sculpture explores cultural identity through the subtle language of expression and gesture, capturing a moment where character and heritage become intertwined. A slight tilt of the head, a relaxed posture and an understated smile suggest openness and self-assurance without prescribing a fixed narrative. Rather than presenting an idealised representation, the work invites viewers to consider how identity is communicated through presence, expression and lived experience, encouraging personal interpretation shaped by their own cultural perspectives. Through close observation and realistic modelling, 'Spirito Italiano' reflects on portraiture as a means of fostering human connection. The sculpture celebrates individuality while acknowledging the shared experiences that transcend cultural boundaries, inviting reflection on the ways identity is both expressed and perceived. 'Shakti: Spirit of the Tigress' emerges from shadow with a watchful presence, embodying the divine feminine energy that is both nurturing and fiercely protective. Sculpted in clay from archival photographs and wildlife reference material, the tigress strides across a symbolic landscape of reclaimed wood, where a flowing blue resin stream runs between granite rocks arranged in a circular formation. Presented against a black ground, her presence becomes more enigmatic, revealing how shifting light transforms the sculpture's character and emotional resonance. The work asks questions about the balance between power and vulnerability, reminding us of both the enduring strength and the fragility of the natural world.
