I work across printmaking, painting, film and installation to explore my connection and experience of coastal and rocky landscapes. 

​

​Pilgrimage and fieldwork are central to my process. Spending time in coastal locations — walking, observing, and making — and working with local materials deepens my relationship with place and generates the basis of my work.

 

Techniques such as rock rubbing, pigment-making, and field recording become ways of translating my sensory and emotional encounters into my artworks so that each piece holds a trace of both presence and process.​

​

My work explores themes of time, embodied landscape, memory and belonging; I connect strongly to the materiality of places and my work always has an underlying consideration of the environmental implications of climate crisis.
