My work investigates landscape; the visual and perceptual responses to what we see and what we have altered, of language, movement, and layers. The relationships we create both intentionally and un-knowingly with the terrains we inhabit. I research and experiment in a variety of landscapes in both a more literal geographical and physical sense and in the possibilities that arise when considering the delicate balance between control and chaos in the human condition and between nature and the managed landscape, whether it’s moorland, city, or industrial space.

 

 I try to approach my art practice with playfulness and energy and an instinctive reaction to what I know about each place I am working in. It is predominantly drawing and painting, but I also look to create opportunities that invite audiences to take part, play games, walk new walks, read alternative maps and hopefully consider landscape in a different way. All my work has a clear narrative and researched background and is consistently visually and physically strong.
