My work is the study of light and imperminance. I use photography, screen printing, solar plates, or oil paints on treated metals and I print mainly using copper and zinc plates. I am studying the Japanese art of impermanence and I use industrial/natural randomised techniques to create work with traditional print and painting methods and materials. My work makes reference to the origin and technological use of semi-precious metals, exploring pop culture, De Stijl, abstract expressionism and our place in the landscape, mainly using composition, industrial and scientific techniques but also using traditional materials like oil paints and watercolours. My latest work takes inspiration from maritime communication.
Influences on my current body of work include Tacita Dean, Mark Wallinger, Tracey Emin, Ben Nicholson, Bridget Riley, Sigmar Polke, Anni Albers and Max Bill.
