About me and my art
My practice moves at the intersection of image, thought, and ecological consciousness. My artistic work consists of nature photography, experimental printmaking, layered paintings, drawing paintings and miniature sculptures.
The North has always been a meaningful starting point for my artistic process. I am comfortable with an open and flowing experience of place, but equally I wonder at the edge of the wasteland at the power of its barren aesthetic charm.
My art reveals a hike, an expedition or a journey travelled. The experience of nature is created by a sparkling waterfall, the heavy footsteps of a sinking swamp and the feeling of breathing freedom at the top of a mountain. I feel that nature cleanses me and us.
In art, I am inspired by the slow devotion of making it. Along with nature and place, the imagery in my work is the drop, the line, sound, earth, air, colour and its flow.
The trace of the drawing leads to a landscape catalogue and the roughness of the making leads to lived moments, landscape and water forms. At times I reach for something eternal and permanent. My experience is always in motion, and its permanence is fleeting. It flows like water.
