I create work to explore; to express thoughts and ideas through intuition, play and observation, encountering in the process a tension between freedom and control which energises my practice. My projects are as varied as my interests. Uniting many of them is my desire to draw out connections and patterns and hence deepen understanding, whilst retaining a backdrop of mystery and the unknown.
