My work is inspired by trees and how their history shapes them into a physical embodiment of experience: old trees are time made wood. I forage for images outdoors, capturing the essence and energy of my subject through drawings, which I transform in the studio to build bodies of work around themes which chime with my own experiences of struggle and loss, resilience and hope. Although rooted in observation, my drawings, paintings and prints play with ambiguity by blurring the boundaries between human and more-than-human, hinting at figure, wood and water but inviting the viewer to make their own meaning.
