artist statement

My practice encompasses printmaking, painting, film, and installation, exploring my felt connection and embodied experience of coastal and rocky landscapes. I work with local materials such as earth pigments, seaweed, and rocks, responding to the geological character and specific environments of places.

​

Pilgrimage and fieldwork are central to my process. Spending time in these coastal locations — walking, observing, and making — deepens my relationship with place and generates the basis of my work. I bring together the physical materials of these sites and my lived experience of them, so that each piece holds a trace of both presence and process. Techniques such as rock rubbing, pigment-making, and field recording become ways of translating my sensory and emotional encounters into my artworks.

​

My recent body of work focuses on Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset — a place I first discovered many years ago and have since returned to often. Its unique interplay of geology and social history continues to captivate me. The wave-cut platforms and rock fossils offer a tangible connection to deep time and give a context to our human experience and complex relationship to landscape.

​

Across my practice, I explore themes of time, embodied landscape, and belonging, reflecting on our place within these liminal spaces where the land meets the sea. I aim to hold space for ambiguity and reflection, inviting new ways of seeing and sensing the familiar.
