Artist statement:
Being out in the landscape is fundamental to my work, the experience of the raw elements is something I am keen to reflect in my practice. Inspired by exploring the natural environment through both walking in the landscape and the science of palaeontology, I’m influenced by the experiences and understanding I have with spaces I walk through. I am keen to continue the conversation between artists and scientists, and will often fins scientific influence in my work.. When sculpting I enjoy manipulating materials exploring shape, form, texture and surface, developing pieces containing the themes of fragility, time and harmony. By placing materials with juxtaposing quality’s such as surface texture, I hope to evoke the viewers enquiry into material, I am interested in the tactile quality of material and creating haptic visuality with my pieces.
