Lives and works in London. Based at Thames-side Studios, Woolwich
MA Painting, Royal College of Art
BA Fine Art, Central Saint Martins
My work investigates the concept of wilderness as a receptacle for the imagination and the stories fostered by and held in land. I see painting as an act of excavation and discovery similar to archaeology. I am fascinated by a sense of time and place that is both ancient and continually shifting; independently alive and indifferent. As such, my paintings are spaces of mystery, outside of time and occupying a tipping point between dissolution and permanence. They speak of the compulsion to be lost in landscapes that overwhelm us, even as we threaten to overwhelm them.
