Artist Statement
I am an adventurer, climber, mountaineer exploring wild places. On my travels I collect materials - earth pigments, found objects with the aim to discover their properties and environmental impacts. A ritual process – I dip and soak fabrics suspending them from fragments collected on route. These are my markers. I roll clay feeling the earth between my fingers building a connection, an intimacy and sensitivity with the elements. I am on a continuous journey to push my boundaries both in exploration of Place, found materials and in my Art.
