beauty and impact, created by humankind
I love maps.
They show us where we are, where home is and the world as it is in a snapshot in time.
Seen from the sky at night cities reveal new forms: architectural details and colour give way to another world, one of stark contrast and pattern, showing the unique footprint each city around the world casts on the skies above.
They tell stories and give clues about our technological advancement, history, heritage and culture.
I am interested in comparing and contrasting the patterns and systems found in the natural world and those created by humans.
My aim is to create pieces which have contrast and power and which show the interrelation between nature and humankind, highlighting the contradictions and beauty of our impact upon our changing world.

Ink and bleach painting
I’ve spent the last 5 years creating my own technique of painting with ink and bleach.
Inks are challenging - they are watery, unpredictable and take on a life of their own.
Adding bleach to inks adds a whole other layer of complexity - the effect is hard to control - the unpredictability of the medium adds another layer of beauty - and the final effect is a beautiful golden colour and a luminosity that is hard to create using other mediums.

Each print is:
- Limited edition: numbered and signed by hand
- Printed on museum quality Hahnemuhle German Etching 320gsm paper. This is the best quality paper there is, it’s lightfast (meaning it will last for many years without fading). I selected it for it’s textured effect that is similar to the watercolour paper I chose to work on in the original paintings.
