Refreshing my Castings for 2026

Over the past year, my work has shifted in ways that feel both subtle and significant. I’ve become increasingly interested in the cultural and environmental contexts that shape an image – not just the figure itself, but the textures, atmospheres, and visual languages that surround it. The body has become less of an isolated symbol and more of a sculptural presence within a wider environment.

Clothing, when it appears, isn’t about fashion or glamour. It’s a structural element – a way of shaping the silhouette, altering the emotional tone, or creating tension between exposure and concealment. Movement, dance, and fitness have also become part of this language: ways of exploring presence through energy rather than stillness.

Location has grown equally important. A figure in a woodland path, a quiet room, or a coastal edge carries a different kind of weight. The environment becomes part of the composition, part of the narrative. The body belongs to the space, alters it, or is altered by it.

Underneath all of this is a familiar instinct – the flint‑and‑steel moment. I’m always looking for that spark that lingers just a little longer than nature intended, the image that shouldn’t quite work on paper but somehow does. Not spectacle, not shock, but a small ignition where body, space, and intention align in a way that feels both unlikely and inevitable. That’s the voltage I’m chasing: the sit‑up‑and‑take‑notice moment born from precision, restraint, and the right kind of tension.

These influences have led me to refine my casting structure into three clear pillars for 2026:

1. Entryways, Dance & Fitness
Clothing‑based, movement‑driven sessions that offer an accessible, expressive introduction to working together.

2. Fine Art Figurative Work
Sculptural, minimalist, and location‑based figure studies that explore the relationship between body, space, and atmosphere.

3. Empowerment Projects
Thematic, collaborative series – including The Double‑Take and See Me! – that focus on agency, visibility, and personal narrative.

Together, these pillars reflect where my practice is heading: more contextual, more atmospheric, and more grounded in the relationship between body, environment, and emotional presence. The sculptural qualities of the figure remain central, but they now sit within a broader, richer visual world – one shaped by movement, fabric, architecture, and the lived moment.
