If you are successful and receive the £10,000 bursary, please tell us what you would use the funding for. Explain how this award will help move your artistic practice forward and what you hope to achieve. (350 words)

Winning the Dover Prize would be an honour and an incredible achievement. The bursary will be used to fund my artistic research, letting me experiment with new materials that would enable me to produce new work to be shown in a solo exhibition, that will celebrate the Dover Price and the new body of work produced by myself.
