Statement

Statement

Specialising in relief and screen printing techniques, I am inspired by the past, thrown away and preloved – objects which were once treasured or had purpose but since been discarded and no longer needed. I hope to find the beauty in these objects and the pasts we’ve left behind and produce contemporary prints to engage with the modern viewer. As I become increasingly concerned about the impact of our throw away culture, I hope that through my work others will see the beauty in the objects around them and have a desire to preserve our heritage and landscape.
