About

I am an installation artist who specialises in working with organic materials and ephemera, borrowed from the earth. My most recent body of work is about connecting myself to the landscape physically and spiritually. It’s about exploring human existence in nature that encapsulates the physical dynamic of our selves within our bodies. Drawing on my own physical experiences of the natural world, I want to turn these ideas into sensory vibrations. My work is not performative but is time based and so far, has been documented through videos and lens-based photography. Along the journey, I make drawings and paintings which are a visual necessity. Maybe they lean from a sensory path expressed by hand, using oil pastels, drawings and paint that are worked into layer by layer. They are an external expression of time and place. Every day I write journals and draw and have begun writing poetry. Maps and countries and have influenced a deep interest in Anthropology. Human behaviour within Eastern and Western art, is where, ideas and creative questions, led me to spiritual traditions such as Zen Buddhism, Islamic and Christian mysticism. Bill Viola’s work taught me about subliminal states, transcendence, and luminosity, which developed my interpretation of ‘Breath’.
