My work begins with a place.
Locations are selected for their familiarity or chosen by
tracing where family members worked and originated from.
This personal mapping begins with drawing in situ, these images become
the precursors to a final print worked through many processes of etching.
The working
strategy is spontaneous and playful,allowing the images to
change in their making, as they become multi layered with new
surfaces and ideas, resulting in intricate and complex prints.
The locations allow me to explore a physical response to
lanscape and combine questions of belonging, rootedness,
liminality and home. The space between us.
The said and unsaid.
My work combines private explorations with public
discourses that aim to share something of how I view
and experience the world around me.
