The artist’s work draws inspiration from the shifting landscape and hedgerows, contrasting with the rugged contours of the West Cornish Coast, where land and sea merge in rhythm and tone, transforming from sunrise to sunset and back.
Through layering, simplification and abstraction, natural shapes dissolve into a language of colour and balance. A time to pause; to sense the essence of place, metaphorical and actual; to translate this emotional response towards landscape and seascape, in all of its openness, wildness and transience, into a visual harmony of form and hue.
Previously work was inspired by industrial and technological artifacts and the changes over time caused by re-naturalisation. The physical nature of printmaking reinforced the mechanics of the process. Combining these skills with explorations into more abstract mark making and colour experimentation has progressed my work into new areas.
