ARTIST STATEMENT
I am an artist-printmaker and filmmaker who works mainly with mixed media printmaking. My practice has developed in public forums, where I create print-based installations often shaped and driven by activism.
My work reflects current affairs, and I am drawn to making pieces about images and situations I feel passionately about or that I believe are important. I am currently working on a series inspired by landscape, land, and protest.
I am particularly interested in the painterly qualities of monoprints in both screen printing and intaglio.
I collect and create screen print stencils using natural materials, and I enjoy reusing materials such as packaging containers and wrappers as printmaking plates, alongside working with the more formal processes of intaglio printmaking.
I have a studio at The Gloucestershire Printmaking Co-op in Stroud, Gloucestershire, where I both work and teach.
