Artefact
Inspired by our relationship with man-made objects, especially those made with material taken straight from the earth and shaped into tools and decorative objects.
Ruins
A series of work that is inspired by what happens to buildings and cities when we leave them behind; when we abandon them. Rain, wind and time pull at them. Window panes crack. Pipes burst. Rust and moss stain the walls. Nature reclaiming what man took from her.
Traces
A series of pieces inspired by those industries and industrial structures that once dominated our landscapes but no longer exist outside of museums.
Cadence
A series inspired by the quite joy of making.
A series inspired from the evolution of print from xylography, printing from engraved wooden blocks, to digital printing and the rise of self-publishing.
Structures
A series of pieces inspired by the way man-made structures, and especially those associated with industry, shape the urban landscape. Always there but rarely acknowledged. Working or abandoned structures, that divide the landscape into crisp lines and shapes.
Dunure
A series of pieces inspired by the influence of place on my mental well being. Some pieces come from a place of calm stillness. Others from a much darker place.
