Introduction
My artistic practice has been profoundly influenced by exposure to two vastly different environments.� Firstly, growing up with minimal art and modern architecture, which gave me the visual language of reduced and economical form and a fascination with systems, repetition and order. Secondly, the regular witnessing of the raw power of the East Anglian coastline. This presented chaos giving me an awareness of natural laws and� an interest in physical matter.
I have developed many processes for creating my work through years of experimenting. I uses geological materials collected from the landscape including quarries.� The creative process begins by preparing the material by grinding� it down or through meticulously separating it out. Using a variety of techniques this �matter� is then applied onto an armature. Layer upon layer are built up forming permanent and textural surfaces.
Through my work I seek to reach a combination of ingredients, aiming for a point of tension and harmony where a frisson occurs.
