About
I am interested in the disruption of surface, whether that be at the hand of the artist or the effect of natural elements.
"I aim to create a space where the artist and viewer can enjoy a shared proximity to the subject".

​I have a meditative approach to both looking at the world and my work. I seek to be in the moment where anything is possible. By using accident and chance within my process, the outcome is not known. Thus the inspiration/idea for the work is often embedded in the making.
​
When painting, the making, shifting and adjusting of marks allows for a sedimentation of material which makes up the final image.
​ I see my video work as a form of drawing, reflecting my practice of slow-looking and a close engagement with the world as it presents itself to me.
​
A further element of my practice is the making of sculpture using found objects. I am interested in both the surface of the object and how the object interacts with the landscape and the weather conditions it faces.
