This page is a personal record.
It’s a collection of feelings I’ve processed through glue sticks, paint splatters, and the occasional existential spiral.
Through zines, collage, and painting, I explore themes of identity, grief, queerness, mental health, and growing pains.
Some projects are raw. Some are weird. All of them are mine.

Fiona is an living body of work made from tattoo stencils collaged on a mannequin torso. Covered in stencils I've been collecting since early in my tattoo career, she reflects the tattooed body as archive—holding memory, identity, and transformation. Each stencil marks a moment: survival, grief, celebration.
In contrast to the blank, idealized form she began as, Fiona’s surface is no longer neutral. She speaks. Tattoos, in this context, become a way of reclaiming the body — from shame, from invisibility, from silence. Fiona exists not to be looked at, but to be read.
Fiona is part me, part my clients, and part every body that’s ever needed to reclaim their skin. She will continue to grow and change over time.

Spiralling is both a personal artifact and a visual exploration of what it feels like to live with C-PTSD. Using collage, found materials, and a lot of glitter, it reflects the fragmented and chaotic nature of healing.
Exploring themes of addiction and sobriety, dissociation, existential spirals, and the complexity of interpersonal relationships, the intention is not to offer closure, but to share honest, unfiltered moments from within the experience.
Spiralling came from a compulsive need to create during emotional turmoil. It is raw, nonlinear, and meant to be held. I made it as a way to process overwhelming feelings, and as an alternative to self-destruction.
Afterglow lives on the other side of the trauma cycle — not in the chaos of survival, but in the quiet presence of mindful existence. It was created in a moment before the events of Spiralling when everything felt softer: when healing didn’t require effort, and existing didn’t feel like a fight.
This piece is layered with rose, lilac, and gold with expressive texture. It doesn’t speak of crisis or recovery, but of simply being. It holds space for the lightness that sometimes arrives when you’re finally safe enough to just feel — without explanation.
Afterglow is a reminder that there’s more to healing than survival. Sometimes, it’s enough to just exist — fully, gently, and here

After the Spiral is a written companion to Spiralling, created in the aftermath of crisis. Where Spiralling uses collage and found materials to express chaotic emotional states, this zine turns to language to make sense of them.
Through poetic reflection, it explores many of the same themes—addiction and sobriety, dissociation, grief, recovery, and the complexity of healing—but with a focus on interpretation rather than expression.
If Spiralling makes the intangible visible, After the Spiral is the process of untangling the threads. It is slower, quieter, and more introspective. This zine is what comes after survival: the search for meaning, the ache of memory, and the work of making peace with what remains.
More chaos, colour, and catharsis coming soon!
