Artist Statement 

My work has always had nature at its heart, exploring environmental and ecological concerns, with the intention of creating awareness and the preservation of the earth. This began with conceptual methods of representing nature and developed into producing multi-media installations that highlights different aspects of the planet’s current environmental crisis; dubbed the Anthropocene - the proposed name for our current era, where human’s impact on the earth has become the single force which drives change on the earth.

My influences stem from the media or environmentally site-specific locations. This influence usually leads to research within the context of environmentalism; to then demonstrate that topic in the best media, often involving an element of chance and ephemerality in homage to nature. Working in a variety of mediums enables a diversity in my practise to occur, echoing natures diversity and it enables me to best demonstrate my desired message.

Previous examples of my practise have included an intimate infinity mirror cubical with audio of personified pesticides to force personal judgement. I have also performatively used bird seed to write environmentally oriented messages for wildlife to consume, along the lake’s footpath at Hartsholme Country Park. Further works has included video projection of rural isolation, home-made herbal sweets wrapped in environmentally bitter statements, performative drawing and painting of tree rings, and using natural materials and natural paint to make trees look like they are bleeding.

My artistic aim is to highlight our current environmental issue while hopefully causing the viewers to think and possibly change their habits for the better for their own health and for the health of the planet.
