Today the world is losing its cultural heritage faster than it can be documented. While we should strive to preserve as much as possible of our collective past, we cannot save everything. One option is to document heritage before it is lost; this is where my practice comes into play.
Drawing underpins my work and informs my printmaking processes. With a love for intaglio and lithographic processes, and the connection that they have with our relationship with the environment; my work captures our fading heritage, offering us a portal into the past.
On the surface my prints may appear dark and gloomy, after all, they are my visual interpretation of decay and dereliction found in post-industrial landscapes. However, look more closely and you’ll notice that there is life within these ruins where mother nature has started to reclaim our waste lands and new ecosystems have started to emerge.
