MY PRACTICE
I am an artist/printmaker based in Torquay, South Devon.
I work with linoprint, monotype and mezzotint, and I make large and detailed charcoal and pastel drawings.
Common themes in my work include otherness and the uncanny, and the exploration of complexity in landscape and our physical and psychological relationship and connection with it.
I am currently producing works that share subjects and locations, interpreting the scenes through the use of different mediums - working in both colour and black and white to enable different interpretations and expressions beyond the use, or otherwise, of colour to allow the mediums themselves to create possibilities that lead to different interpretations and insights.
