Two Little MEs am I

Born to an Italian father and English mother, the earliest concept I remember grasping and making my own is the relativity inherent in different cultural expressions. Living between two cultural spaces, has a profound impact on your sense of identity, where the norms you adopt can imply unsettling choices and tinge most environments with a hue of impostor syndrome, and where you always sit a little bit outside of yourself and those around you.

To explore these ideas I use a wide range of materials. Having no real interest in exploring form or material for the sake of it, and dislike for work that is flat both physically and emotionally, I am compelled to create visual narratives that are quite theatrical in nature. Writing is a big part of my practice and titles are very much a part of my work, acting to colour or subvert meaning. 

​

​

My work reflects a desire to find and expose the ridiculous internal logic and absurdities that govern our world and its different cultural systems. Most recently, my production has concentrated on societal pressures and their conditioning impact on women in all spheres, from the deeply personal to the most public.
