About Me.
I am a visual artist and work with Printmaking, Sculpture and Photography.
Originally from the West Midlands and from early childhood, I have been fascinated by industrial process, by the alchemy of change, by pressure, by heat, by the intervention of human invention.
In photography and digital imagery, I play with exaggerated perspective and textured overlays. Sometimes the accidental and sometimes highly staged, enjoying the unexpected transformation a process brings, from the ancient to the digital, the veiled, the accidental, not always knowing the outcome.
Within printmaking I uses mark making, to create controlled narrative and torn plates to create more abstract accidental texture. Sometimes the prints remain flat and sometimes they are shaped in to sculptural form.
I enjoy working collaboratively and some of the current digital work on show is created working with painter Vitor Azevedo, the layered combination of his painterly mark making are combined with my altered land/seascapes to create yet to be discovered places.
I enjoy stealing surface textures and making them into jewellery.
