Fine Art Printmaker
I am a fine art printmaker, studying themes of anatomy, identity and natural history, playing with medium, scale and sequence to produce both traditional and experimental results.
A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Brighton, I have lived and worked in London since 1999. I have exhibited widely, from the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition to the Awagami Print Exhibition in Japan, and also showing regularly at Studio 1.1 in Shoreditch. I have been working at the SFSA studio project at Deptford Foundry since opening in 2019 and have become a regular exhibitor at the Noformat Gallery.
Since 2011, I have focused on printmaking and have become a regular exhibitor at the Affordable Art Fair and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair
My current work with relief printmaking explores our individual and collective identity, using the human figure to represent an identity unique to the individual and common to all, moving fluidly between separation and communion. They are contradictory in nature. Blurred, duplicated and distorted but rendered with surgical focus. Anonymous yet relatable. Universal yet specific. Unsexed yet gendered. The industrial rhythm of line and negative space create a sense of movement between these states and allow the viewer to project their own sense of self. One can see a doppelganger, another can see a foreign body. One can see the constructive influence of the weaving process, another can see a destructive exploration of the body.
