I am a poet and nonfiction writer from Southampton, England currently studying for a BA in Creative Writing at the University of Winchester.

I initially spent many years confining my writing to the page, during which time I was named one of the Foyles Young Poets of 2011. Recently I became friends with a graphic designer, it was this friend that opened my mind to all the different ways that the written word could be used and displayed.

Suddenly I found new methods of make my writing come to life – off of the page. Since then I have been extremely interested in the way that words can create a visual experience for their readers and so over the last few years I have tried to explore this in my own work.

My first large-scale exploration of this new medium came in my second year of university. I created an autobiographical exhibition, working with printed fabrics and sewn words.

My current work 'I am a woman, and then, however I just am' is an extension of this concept, creating autobiographical poetry for display. In this project I am working solely with fabrics and embroidery to create an exhibition that will challenge the way many people look at poetry and the written word.
