Within my practice, I explore memory and place within the natural world. Influenced by history and ritual, I aim to create works that evoke a sense of personal and shared sentiment within nature. Within my practice, I use various mediums, most notably watercolour and cyanotype. Working with water-based materials on paper allows me to let the materials organically take form. My work ranges from botanical imagery, repeating patterns and rock-like formations. I'm fascinated by the uncanny and eeriness of nature and draw inspiration from ancient concepts like 'thin places' and in general traditions and stories.
