Artist Statement

My interdisciplinary practice examines how internal and geographical landscapes shape one another, how memory and perception inform our experience of place, and how environmental deterioration becomes legible through acts of documentation. I am interested in the specificity of a landscape beyond what is merely seen, working to capture its atmosphere, emotion and character. 

 

My works unfold through sustained observation, research, and documentation, often utilising photography, video and audio recordings to inform their development. Attending to both the marvellous and mundane, I work to discover recurring patterns, subtle details, textures, and gestures that inform my material language. 

 

In navigating the space between encounter and translation, I recognise landscapes as sites of continued change. I am exploring how ecological shifts and human presence become embedded in environments over time, experimenting with image, text and sound to articulate these relationships. Whether through painting, photography, poetry, or installation, my work ultimately reflects the unity that exists between ourselves and our surroundings.
