My practice is informed by doctoral research in art history and theory, as well as creative interests identified during a HND fine art. Working across mediums and the visual languages of abstraction and figuration, it is concerned with natural dynamics, the structures that underlie reality as we experience it, and relationships within and between things. Featuring recurring motifs drawn from weaving, it probes polarities encountered in art and life, and how they relate to ideas about unity.

 

Recent work, inspired by textiles and my coastal location, visualises the seafront as an 'overlap zone'. Primarily through ink pen, charcoal and pastel drawings, it explores this location as a weave between waves and foreshore, featuring interacting warp- and weft-like elements.

 

Following a residency in Athens, I am also undertaking an art + research enquiry, one phase of which was funded by an Arts Council Agility Award. Probing contrasting elements of style in ancient Greek sculpture, it draws on ideas about iterative patterns from chaos theory to consider how refreshed categories of form may recur over the course of art history.

​

I am currently working towards a two-person exhibition titled 'Wayfinding', which opens in late November this year, and a solo exhibition, 'Drawing as Tapestry', 

scheduled for late June 2025. For more information, see here.
