WORK
The Tapestries are a deep dive into human behaviour in word poems
The Medals, known as Domestic Citations, are invented medals for heroism in the home
The Periodic Tables strictly adhere to the elements but reimagine them as studies of the human experience
Engravings bring Victoriana into the age of acid and quietly satirise the overwrought melodrama of their images
