• My work is about touching and being, looking at the way things function.

  It’s about how we may think about something. 

  It’s about how things are looked at.

  The body of work functions like organic mechanisms of the every day, heightening our awareness of the importance of the world.  

  My work touches upon Modernism in a formal way. In abstraction – the shapes, colours and lines that make up work. It always carries an emphasis on materials and processes.

  It’s an exploration of materiality. It’s about surfaces – emphasising the tactility between the physical making and the digital realm.
