road home series (5 images)
hanging linesMateriality is an essential component of my work, giving it tactility, strength and groundedness.
At the same time, my aim is to convey a sense of subtlety and lightness through organic forms.

I use available materials, natural and human-made, to make marks, lines, shapes and forms. These in turn speak their own language and also reflect my connection to them as artist.
The essential interrelatedness of all life underpins my work, as does the ambiguousness of human and natural world relationships.
Whilst my practice incorporates serious content, there is also an element of playfulness in my approach to materials and subject matter.

pink wall lines
In this work I am attempting to get at the core of what home means. The work draws on a personal childhood memory of home; vertical, pink tongue & groove bedroom walls. In the larger context, it attempts to establish the connection between natural and human-made worlds. Marks or lines feel their way in and around the slats; traces of life, existence past and present. Home as something felt, is fundamental to all creatures. My aim is to express feeling subtly and minimally through the work’s simple form and material presence.
