Arts Practice
Using my handmade paper from recycled waste, I form three-dimensional figurative sculptures coloured and textured with natural dyes and embellishments.Each sculpture conveys a visual narrative.
I draw using a variety of techniques and materials including charcoal, graphite and ink. My aim is to capture the essence and movement of a subject with quick, expressive lines.
Textiles encompass a range of natural materials and experimental techniques alongside traditional methods, pushing boundaries to create 2D and 3D artworks that explore the transient characteristics of site specific places.
I use Porcelain clay for its strength, durability, and delicate, translucent appearance. It’s fine, smooth texture allows for intricate detailing, making it ideal for form-making in both my non-functional sculptures and jewellery designs.
My Artists' books explore different mediums and interdisciplinary approaches. They incorporate elements of painting, printmaking, photography, collage, ceramic, and textiles, pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a book. They are often site specific and draw on insights into the place of their origin.
Using natural pigments from coastal rock and my dye garden involves harvesting and processing these organic materials to create unique, sustainable colours. Coastal rocks are round into fine powders, and plants are gently heated and modified to extract their colour These natural pigments offer a rich, earthy palette and a direct connection to my environment,
