Statement

Statement

I am primarily a photographer and printmaker. Working with analogue film and increasingly drawn to abstraction I use mark making coupled with  printmaking as a way of embodying chance and energy into my prints.  I am currently experimenting with scale, 3D and film.  Influences include Mona Hatoum, Peter Kennard and Francis Alys for their politics, protest and occasional absurdity. I am exploring borders and belonging, protest and place. Lines in the landscape; political, geographical and personal, are the factors that drive and inform my work.
