PRACTICE
From my studio in Torquay, South Devon, I produce limited edition lino and mezzotint prints, and detailed works in pencil and charcoal. I am interested in subjects that provoke a sense of the wild, mysterious and uncanny through which I might explore human experience in the context of a world often hidden from sight.
My subjects include the moorlands and coastlines of Devon and Cornwall, the random movement of dancers across dance floors, the flight of crows through imagined forests, the shapeshifting qualities of water and stone, and the half-forgotten artifacts and folk tales that haunt the landscapes that surround me.
