Rather than beginning with the end in mind, outcomes emerge during the making. Current work seeks to use abstract printmaking and sculpture to explore the relationship and break the boundaries between 2D and 3D.Focus:Print, sculpture, mixed mediaCommissions:Available for commissionsMy preference is to work with organic materials wherever possible, sometimes foraged material, occasionally found objects. Aiming for zero wastage, nothing gets thrown away and 'left overs' often become or are incorporated into future work.AboutExploring form, colour, texture and composition, my work is informed by a mixed media approach, employing multiple processes and materials including ceramics, metals, paper, wax, printmaking and textiles.
