In my work I strive to re-present my experience of the natural world as somewhere newly discovered, and to render it less familiar with a heightened intimacy and sensuality. I characterise my process as one involving ‘scratching away’, ‘teasing apart’ and ‘burrowing in’. An attempt to paint the subject from the inside out, in deference to its inscrutability and grandeur.

I have a longstanding interest in Animist belief systems that invest all life, and our planet, with ‘spirit’, and I value an anthropomorphising of life forms over the reductive commodification that has occurred.
