Artist Statement:

The main focus of recent work has been site specific installations and photography, focusing on the natural environment. Using sculpture, installation, photography and paper based media such as printmaking , my work is concerned with the landscape, the environment, and my personal connection to these. The work may also be informed by the history or culture of a particular site. Using materials largely found on site or referencing the site, the work reflects particular aspects that may provoke contemplation or invoke the beauty of nature. The representation of the feminine in nature, culture and the personal interpretation of these are found in the making of my sculptural works: stitching, sewing, making objects that play with the domestic, are the contextual forms for much of my work. Photography plays a part in providing documentation as well as providing an object to exhibit, as a record of the works in situ, and as a way of my work reaching an audience. Printmaking including etchings, lithographs and other paper based works, artist books and contemporary photography are all mediums I employ in my practice.
