Statement

The theme of my work is landscape, expressing awe at the overpowering force of nature, 
juxtaposed against its fragility and stillness. I am interested in details that usually pass us by: 
uneven, weathered stone textures, cracks in rocks and dry earth, moving grass and trees, 
drips revealing the passage of time; the simplicity and elegance of nature. I draw upon journeys, 
in the interplay between the experience and memory of the natural world, revealing conflicting 
ideas of intimacy and enormity, familiarity and mystery, fragility and power. 

My work explores issues of personal identity in a collective society, in particular I examine 
places where history is written in the landscape.
