Statement

In the past three years I have completed a  Masters Degree in Film Practice with Arts University Bournemouth, and  experimented with a 360 degree camera and virtual reality.  In our complex world today, I feel that film and advanced technologies offer greater creative opportunities to explore our  human and non-human world. Being  a multi-disciplinary artist gives me the freedom to choose from many  ‘toolkits’. I love painting, printmaking and working with clay, but I have often found that working with moving images enables me to better express my relationship with the complex world we inhabit. I love the landscape that I live in, and like many others I’m painfully aware how vulnerable it is – most of my work reflects on our relationship with the natural world in one way or another. Planet Earth is a tiny voyager in a huge universe, and we need to cherish it.

In January 2023 I was fortunate to work briefly with Immersive Business, when they were based at Falmouth University, engaging in a collaborative project that exploring Augmented and Virtual Reality. I produced a short VR video work for the NSA Show ‘Engage’ in 2023, and continue to experiment with my 360 camera.

Before moving from Kent to Cornwall in 2016  I spent many years working on multi-media collaborative projects with other artists, and enjoyed several public art commissions.
