Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University, Research Associate of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research, London, she occupies herself with fine leathers, elegant embossing, improper attributes and borrowed vices. Attracted by Karl Marx, devoted to Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, she frequently withdraws from theory to the solace of Parisian department stores. Her work is represented by Domo Baal Contemporary Art, London (U.K), and Galerie Bugdahn & Kaimer, Düsseldorf (Germany).
