My 2024 work is not included on this older webpage, though the work in Semi-Abstract Landscapes and Nature in a Box is fairly recent. My practice includes collage, print, 3D work, installations. These diverse practices are connected by their development from site-specific investigations.
The aim is to make people aware of, or to reframe, connections between places, times and events, and to create opportunities for people to embed new associations and perceptions in their memories of a particular environment.
My work is often based on my love of and concern for the natural environment, while at the same time acknowledging the realities of the modern world, and I want to share both these aspects with others. I like to draw attention to the ordinary treasures we may not always notice, valuing the beauty in the detail of everyday, local nature, and the fast-vanishing diversity of far-away nature. I hope to convey an appreciation of the beauty of nature and knowledge of why it matters. My work is based on reality but does not aim for complete realism; instead my joy is shown through pattern, texture and colour. I often re-purpose found objects to contrast our throw-away society with nature.
