Artists Statement

I have always been fascinated by stories of exploration and the age of discovery, significantly the challenges and changes to the natural landscape. How a place is influenced by its geography and the consequences of industrialisation on local vegetation, flora and fauna. In particular, I am interested in capturing the beauty and significance in the common object to illustrate the frailty of life. More recently, I have been documenting transitions in the natural and manmade landscape, observing and visualising formal elements to find meaning and value in the process of change.
