My practice explores nature in all forms through processes of photography and printing techniques. The subjects I use have primary references to environmental matter and can be perceived as physical samples of nature. My work more recently has been focused around printed matter and digital processes, exploring seasonal colours and shapes. The prints respond to interior settings and appear three dimensional in form.

Circular shapes are the main theme within my practice, used to magnify specific areas of a photographic image or design. Perspex and vinyl materials are used to compose the circular discs I create. The translucent material enables light and colouration to infiltrate through the work, creating depth and obscurities.

'In Harmony’ brought me hope and purpose at the beginning of 2021. The work is centred around the struggles in life and how we don’t always see the silver lining in events or situations, but later, realise things do come together in harmony. The design has strong, contrasting colours which each represent positives and negatives amongst humanity.

 

Working with nature is a very important part of my practice. I submerse myself in nature to gather new concepts. I love capturing flowers in circular forms and presenting them within a circumference, as in nature there are no straight lines or sharp corners. Circles to me also represent the sun, the moon and the earth, which are ever-changing and evolving around us, just as nature is.

 

There is something beautiful and intricate about taking physical samples of nature and representing them in an artwork, it makes us stop, look and appreciate how exquisite our surroundings are. This work links to the idea of ‘Home’ through narratives of connecting with nature and feeling a sense of belonging and togetherness with my artwork and the subjects I use.
