Profile
My work is centred around the found object, but this also overlaps with notions of excavation and the land. Acting like a mediator, selecting and presenting items for the consideration of the viewer. The process of how I work is dictated by the objects/materials/shapes I find and this is where I find inspiration which informs the journey of creating, abstracting forms and shapes. Museums are a strong influence as museums can live in our drawers, cupboards and imaginations, awaiting their moment of arrival. Printmaking is a prominent factor in my work which is often thought to be a very traditional medium but I try to push the boundaries of printmaking to a new refreshing approach. This discipline is often layered using multiple printmaking techniques to create depth and interest. The desire to truly understand our relationship with objects through a cross disciplinary approach is my focus as an artist.
