Artist search

My work is abstract and is inspired by landscape and environment.  Strongly characterised by colour, rhythm and movement, I seek to express the excitement of travel and new experiences. Artist statement 'Rhythm' (2007) comes from a body of work made from abandoned derelict artefacts found in a rural environment. In its painted form, this...

My current practice is concerned with exploring aspects of human migration in relation to the landscape. It looks at the way in which human beings form attachments to their surroundings and how when separated from a familiar environment, they may experience traumatic emotions such as dislocation and displacement.Many migrants exist within a...

Process is central to my work and intimately linked with my activity as a gardener (I have been running my own plant-specialist garden maintenance company since 2004). My ideas are usually generated by my immediate environment. I may use a prosaic object, an activity or an unusual event as a starting point. I sometimes use live plant material in...

I would describe my work as a series of observations that explore the perennial human search for meaning and the ways in which our deep rooted cultural and social practices and beliefs impact on our view of the world and our relationships with those around us. I employ a cross disciplinary approach, in which printmaking processes merge...

The dialogue between something and nothing informs the materiality of the things I make; loose ends offer balance between the two. Eva Hesse showed me how to move away from the...

Her work also makes reference to the powerful dialogue between nature, the city and the individual. Floating tower blocks seem sure to crumble at their foundations, symbolising the financial collapse and the fragmentation of...

In my current work recorded sounds travel along conductive threads stitched through mud and river stained cloth. I have waded into and walked alongside the river Glaven in North Norfolk, subjecting the fabric, which was wrapped around me, to the journey; I made sound recordings and video en route, and used writing as a personal mnemonic. The mud...

Artist statement The Boudoir of the Burlesque Performer My work investigates a complexity of issues about the representation of the contemporary female with emphasis on the Burlesque Stage Performer. This naturally led onto questioning the idea of play between photographer, private space, intimacy, fantasy and the real, as well as...

Artist statement I have a strong passion about the everyday and the seemingly banal. I am constantly engaging with elements of the world around me which are so often overlooked. Each piece of work I make is a personal response to an encounter or event that occurs, most often, as I pass through spaces. I feel a need to report these moments and...
