My work is an embodied response to the outdoor landscapes I find myself in (natural or manmade). I make objects or installations using papier-mâché, clay, textiles, drawing, painting, and sound recordings. I often use found materials such as soil, plants, seeds, sheep’s wool, wood and animal bones - materials that left on site, will change, break down or grow, without harming or polluting the environment, but still leave a trace.

Capturing impermanent temporal aspects of a landscape, such as sound, as well as creating artworks that will decay over time, are recurring urges that reflect an interest in the cycles of life, and entropy. I walk the landscape to find inspiration – the body moving through, or feeling within, a place. I try to capture this visceral experience of awe or fear or comfort or any number of other emotions that might emerge, as well as use aspects of the place’s physical, material reality and return with them, like souvenirs from another land, to the art space.
