Ey - Up Wigan February
EY - UP Wigan - Kawa's Coffee and Wine bar,
February 6th - February 20th 2026
After the MADE IT exhibition in November 2025, I was contacted by EY-UP and invited to be part of their February show.
The opening night on February 6th was an incredible showcase of eight featured artists, presenting a wide range of work. The evening was made even more special with live music and poetry performances, creating such a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere.
It was a fantastic opportunity to meet the EY-UP team, speak about my practice, and discuss potential future projects together. I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of such a vibrant and inspiring show.

Artist Bio
Sculptor from rural North Wales exploring human connection, ecology, and the quiet systems that link all living things.
My practice explores the relationship between humans and nature, using materials like wire, plaster, and clay to uncover hidden networks of connection, support, and communication. I often use wire as a metaphor for mycelium - the underground fungal network - to represent the unseen threads that bind us emotionally, ecologically, and ancestrally.
In this sculptural installation, three abstracted human forms appear in silent dialogue.
Inspired by fungal structures, the figures are hollow and net-like, coated in clay to resemble living mycelium. As light filters through them, their shadows evoke the invisible systems we all share.
My work is process-driven, beginning with intuitive wire structures that evolve through layering, casting, and embedding meaning into material. I draw inspiration from natural forms and from artists such as Kiki Smith, Antony Gormley, and Anne Hardy.
What I hope stays with viewers is the sense that our bodies and our lives are never separate from the natural systems we inhabit. Being part of Made It offers the opportunity to share this work with new audiences, experience it in dialogue with others, and grow through fresh perspectives, feedback, and connections.
