    • About The Artist

      Environment, exploration and materiality are key components to my practice, a means for me to understand and communicate the world around me. Inspiration comes from my daily walks where I observe the landscape and ecological processes. I am not searching for the literal truth instead I seek

      an expressive and emotional reaction to process, place, time and geophysical activity.

       

      Using experimental play as a strategy for making work I draw, collage, paint, print and sew onto unconventional found, re purposed and ephemeral materials such as; jetsam rags, old coffee sacks and discarded clothing, the aesthetic beauty of these materials in their distressed, damaged and

      altered state hold a power to communicate that excites me. My work develops in stages, continuously reconstructing, deconstructing and manipulating these materials, nothing is wasted, every fibre and thread cut is kept and used, paint on the table is mopped up by rags that will form new works.

       

       

      Defects and unintentional flaws are left visible, I avoid the urge to cover my mistakes instead they become purposeful and create their own narrative. Their alterations happen haphazardly evoking

      new representations in parallel to my own intention. I play with the constraints alongside materiality and stretch these as far as I can. Heavily textured and layered surfaces are a powerful element of the

      work, engaging other senses besides sight to evoke sensations, memories and associations.

    • Caring For Your Artworks

      Avoid hanging your artwork or displaying your sculpture in direct sunlight, above a working fireplace, or in a damp or humid area.

      When cleaning, never use water or commercial cleaners - always use your high-quality, lint-free microfiber cloth dry, and handle the artwork with extreme care to avoid creating fingerprints, dents or creases. This is especially important for artworks without glazed fronts.

      Lighting which washes the walls of a room displays all paintings without damaging them with ultraviolet rays or direct heat from sunlight. Energy-saving bulbs or yellow light bulbs don't capture artworks to their full beauty.

      Sculpture should always be lit from eye level or above, never from below as while this may create momentary drama it will not do the work justice.
