I make bold, quirky and apparently playful works often carry a brooding gritty undertone. By employing an agglomeration of printmaking, painting, collage, stitching onto a variety of surfaces my work is a lively regurgitation of current obsessions. My most recent output follows on from works concerning the vulnerability of existence in the natural world to the “Museumification” of artefacts, relics and taxidermy where the loss of original context renders the pieces nebulous and solitary. I am heavily influenced by iconography and the primitive depiction of the cave paintings of Lascaux and Australia
