I am an artist printmaker based in East Anglia.  My work falls into two strands which initially seem very different, but through all of it I am trying to understand memories, convey feelings, explore relationships and investigate the concept of place. 

I use relief and planographic print processes to explore concepts of order and disorder, repetition and interruption, position and juxtaposition in abstracted compositions with shapes, colours and lines.  These compositions are often rooted in physical feelings and experiences and the emotional memories attached to them.  I want to pare back, distill and concentrate to the bare bones of what I felt, what happened and what I remember most.  I want quietness from the noise - peace in my personal internal landscape.

Alongside this exploration of abstract and internal places, I use photography and planographic processes to explore narratives and places hidden within the landscape of East Anglia.   This work focuses on the play between permanence and transience; it explores liminal spaces - ones which reveal hints of events, traces of identity, markers of time.  I record human interventions in rural landscapes that inevitably atrophy – posing questions and provoking conversations.
