‘perceiving the environment from within, looking not at it but in it, nature becomes something quite different. It is transformed into a realm where we live as participants not observers’
I am a contemporary visual artist combining conceptual and traditional approaches in my art practice.
Often working at the boundary of abstraction and figuration, I like to create a detachment from the material world, giving the viewer freedom to respond emotionally to my ambiguous narrative spaces. I hope that the work will reflect the extensive research , my use of materials, and the background social engagement.
I aim to create work that weaves together threads of concern for the fragile uncertainty of life, the importance of place and the environment.
Work that is more than the simple pleasure of looking.
I am a member of The Oxford Art Society, the XVI group of artists, and a graduate of the Falmouth School of Art (MA Fine Art Contemporary Practice).
