About 

My practice operates at an intersection of personal experience and material enquiry, where geographical familiarity is entangled with an investigation into the generative capacities of metal. Grounded in engagement with the coastal landscapes of Cornwall and in particular the ways in which humans experience and navigate these environments, through site-based immersion, I identify what I have termed ‘conduit points’; points which are in a state of flux, characterised by their unstable, transitory nature. These sites, situated at the interface of land and sea, are regions of convergence, an assemblage of environmental, temporal and material forces.

Much of my work is grounded in a sensitivity to non-human agency and to the active role of material within my process. By exploring fragmentation both of and within the material, its inherent properties and tendencies are stimulated to emerge, thus its innate vitality is brought to the fore. As it splinters and splays apart, I do not seek to push it back into a homogeneous state, rather allowing it to define its own outcomes. By making work that can be re-situated within a landscape, I seek to amplify and intensify the dynamic, ever-changing interplay of natural forces found within these environments.
