“From our earliest days as hunter-gatherers, it was women who stoked the first hearth fires, stirred the first pots, brewed the first beer, and baked the first bread.”

Danielle Prohom Olson from ‘Reclaiming the Magical Herstory of Food’ for GatherVictoria.com (2017)

Growing up in the North of England has deeply influenced my art practice, shaping the core of my research. My surroundings have always informed my creative journey, an evolving relationship with the object, nature, and womanhood.

In the early years of my practice, I worked with traditional, object-focused methods, creating pieces that offered a sense of permanence and security. These conventional materials and techniques were a strong foundation, but over time, I felt constrained by them. As my awareness of environmental issues deepened, I questioned the sustainability of my practice and the lasting impact of the materials I was using. This led to a significant shift in my work, a transition to incorporating a more fluid, sustainable, and nature-driven approach.

I am also passionate about community engagement and collaboration. As a co-founder of Haus-a-rest, an online art zine, I help bring together like-minded artists, writers, poets, and theorists to highlight new and established creatives. In addition, I have organised exhibitions in unconventional spaces, ranging from small travelling galleries and pop-ups in disused buildings to larger shows in commercial venues, both locally and internationally.
