Introduction
My work as a contemporary artist emerged during my time at Plymouth University. I graduated with a Fine Art BA Hons degree in 2009. I work with nature, time-based media and mathematical form. The majority of my work is in collaboration with the land that I choose or am invited to work in and continues through an organic process.
I record the artworks through photography, film, paintings and in book form. There is always an opportunity to record the viewers' experiences of interaction with the piece - a continuum informing the work.
I am interested in the phenomenon of archetypes coming into existence through form. I have worked with the mathematical form of the line, spiral, grid, square and hexagon. The spiral is the main form that has continued throughout my practice.

My work invites people's participation - each responding to the work in their own unique way.
I hope that the viewer will participate in my art work, and that each may be touched by, and recognise, the known and the forgotten in both old and new form. The artworks are left in situ or I develop them further and each changed form becomes a new artwork in its own right.
My ethos is to trust in the creative within one’s self (including dreams) and to listen, receive and respond. I believe through connecting with one's creative self one is also connecting with the universal and the collective.
