The ‘Twenty’ project (2017-18) serves as a reflection upon the artist’s long term relationship with her partner in the light of his treatment for heart failure.

'Syncopation' (2017) is based on the poem, 'Home: A Structure on Trial' by Polish poet, Rafal Gawin. It was originally commissioned for the 'Talking Transformations: Home on the Move' project, curated by Dr. Manuela Perteghella and Dr. Ricarda Vidal, which sought to investigate what ‘home’ means in relation to debates on Brexit and EU migration. The poem took on autobiographical resonance, symbolic of her partner’s recovery, with the home representing a place of refuge and safety, whilst also becoming claustrophobic - “Home is a cobweb”. The flickering sunlight, reflected upon the floors and doors is indicative of his irregular heartbeat – “a fabulous echo of nocturnal misfires” or a “collision of elements”. Correlations are drawn between the structural dwelling and its human presences – “Home is a game of hide-and-seek” with “bodies that carry out the dodging”.
