Statement

Through my creative practice my sources of inspiration are diverse yet there are recurrent themes throughout. Themes of contradiction and contrast, repetition and reversal. My ideas are fuelled by a keen interest in research, a mechanism through which my work evolves. Much of my work manifests itself in the form of print. The many varying techniques and approaches to printmaking provide the opportunity to explore the interdependence of ideas and process, questioning and blurring boundaries to create a synthesis between the two.
