Profile
My art practice is informed by events that occur in my life, which emanate from my roots in Malta with poetry and culture.
My work communicates notions of territory and is fusing aesthetic context.
I am a hybrid of my country, interlinking with the UK where I presently live, this informs my working processes and choices of materials.
My work involves multimedia media, installations, video and sound but also more traditional painting and drawing.
