Artist Statement
I have a strong connection to the natural world which shows up frequently within my work, with a particular focus on recurring flora and fauna from my internal and external landscapes.
The work I produce sits in the liminal space between the real and the imagined. Observed natural aspects, creatures and animals that sit within an imagined and fluctuating dream space.
This duality is mirrored within my process of making the work and feels integral to my practice. This takes shape as an act of destruction whereby the materials and myself are pushed to a point of exhaustion. This phase of the process helps me to feel a deeper connection to myself and my work and gives space for something softer, with great sensitivity to be birthed.
Visual notations from my sketchbooks weave their way into large scale works on canvas, as well as final pieces created on salvaged book covers and pages. These found surfaces that already hold a space in time are of great importance to me and my practice. They are an opportunity to reconceptualize what once was.
These processes come together creating a juxtaposition of something concrete yet fragile.
The work I create can pose questions around reality and imagination, connection and the psyche, whilst also inviting the viewer to consider the symbolic meanings of the imagery used within the work.
