MA work

MA work

My work evolves through making. To be involved in and to understand the process, shaping ideas with physical skill and knowledge.

I am interested in the role of craftsmanship in the digital age, if the touch of the hand is as important as the ability to manipulate technology.

I have been exploring different methods of digital printing; discovering how it can become part of the creative process, experimenting with printing tools and machines on both paper and fabric. By combining traditional and digital methods of printing, I hope to reintroduce a more human element to the digital printing process.
