Projects
A small selection of projects, from commissions and collaborations to personal projects and exhibited works.
Years of Autumn
A collection which celebrates leaves, something so every day and ordinary. Yet each year autumn reminds us to notice. To look up. To look down. These intricate and beautiful shapes wherever we go. In our garden, on the bushes we walk past and the trees we sit under. Renewing and surrounding us year on year.
Fresh Air Collection
2021
Created in last year’s sunshine I am sharing this collection with you as we enter a fresh new spring, one that feels so very long awaited. These small artworks feel like precious echoes in time, abstracting details found in nature into expressive and intricate marks. These intimate pieces whispering a sense of hope, and joy to be found in the little things.
Wildflower Collection
2020
These works are full of dreamt up details, inspired by foliage in my wild garden, dried flowers in my home or plants on my walks. I think of the miniature artworks as pocket-size gardens - as if they're little places themselves to find a moment of beauty and calm in your home.
A Split Second of Humanity (Phase 2)
2018 - 2019
This piece was selected for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2018, and continues to be exhibited in 2019.
This piece simultaneously explores impermanence and preservation. Made up of dried eucalyptus leaves with intricately painted patterns, the work investigates humanity and nature's intertwining relationship and impact on one another.
Forest of Imagination Workshop
October, 2018
The creation of a giant miniature forest, inviting children and adults to create their own tree from sticks, paper and found materials.
This workshop and the resulting installation was apart of Forest of Imagination 2018, an annual pop-up festival in Bath created by Grant Associates and charity 5x5x5=creativity (now named House of Imagination)
Look Closer: Can you see the colours?
September & October 2018
A painting on the Andrew Brownsword Gallery floor and wall for the Visions of Science Art Prize.
Playing with pattern, this piece combines Pi, an indicator in pattern formation as studied in Mathematical Sciences, and personal experiences of Synaesthesia - a condition that simultaneously links one sense to another.
Ink Collection
October, 2017
I created a collection of works influenced from the patterns in natural objects and plants. From seaweed to bark, I found details to integrate in to trails of ink drawings, experimenting with colours and forms to create works that act as a reminder to notice the little moments and intricacies that surround us.
Forgotten Fibres
November, 2016
Forgotten Fibres was a project conceived for Find another Bath, a book that draws together a wide range of artists and poets local to Bath to respond to various aspects, locations and associations of Bath that are often overlooked or forgotten. For the Find Another Bath book and it's coinciding exhibition I created two works using wool, drawing on the woollen industry in Bath's history.
Mark, Touch, Press
August, 2016
An installation responding to the question 'Where is your humanity?', looking at our ever contradictory relationship with the natural world. These petals hang pinned like specimens on the wall, illustrating our awe and fascination with the natural world in all its fragility and immenseness, yet our ruthlessness to so readily manipulate or disregard it.
Faded Garden & Defining Lines
July, 2016
A hung installation, small framed piece and experimentation with the dried tulips from Floating Garden. This project was in response to an invitation from 44AD artspace and Dorothy House for artists to donate tulip artworks for this fundraising exhibition in central Bath.
Floating Garden
May & June, 2016
This suspended flower installation reached up from the floor to above visitors heads, forming a beautiful arch in the heart of Bath's much loved building, Walcot Chapel. The delicate installation invited visitors to walk through it, giving them an opportunity to experience an intimate connection with the natural world.
Your Privacy Has Been Deleted
April, 2016
A piece in response to the statement 'your privacy has been deleted', using small words on tracing paper to play with the relationship between the hidden and the revealed. This work was part of an online exhibition all responding to the text in a variety of ways.
A Secret Language
September 2015 & May/June 2016
This subtle and simplistic work encompasses two elements of drawing that echo the notion of language. From formations of brail-like pin holes across the surfaces, to the composition of the work on the wall - employing spaces as if punctuation in the works patternless rhythm.
