Welcome

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist with a studio in Peverell, Plymouth. In my printmaking I use a variety of processes such as monoprinting, lithography and etching, mostly based on my drawing and photographs, where exploration in one medium informs the artwork in others. The focus of my research during my MA in Printmaking evolved into exploring the possibilities of incorporating the digital into my print practice; my recent prints use laser-cut matrices, made from my photographs and drawings which I can then layer up using collagraphs or move into 3D.

I use walking as observation for my research into overlooked natural places within the city, especially its flora and fauna. I observe how the environment is used by locals and tourists alike and how these small oases might quickly disappear unless they are carefully conserved. I am always drawn to the beauty of weeds, the ephemerality of nature with its constant birth/death cycle and the hidden joys of palimpsests. I use any ‘waste’ prints to make books and 3D forms.

I’m running a one day course at RAMP, Royal William Yard, from 10-4pm on Saturday July 12th, where we’ll be making our own papers using a gelli plate and then turning these into pages of a book, making small stitched booklets, concertinas and pamphlets. All the details are here: get tickets

I’ve recently become a Co-Director of CAMP (Contemporary Art Membership Platform) and I’m a member of A-N and VASW.
