My current practice involves the creation, re- mediation, re-animation and transmission of personal and collective archives – in physical, digital and embodied forms ;
I’m particularly interested in the relationships within and between these, and how the rational and irrational rub together in my work .
My current work focuses on this continuing remediation of pre-existing imagery by making repeatedly traced paintings and drawings on semi-transparent materials.
I use iterative and recursive processes to re-make ‘copies’ which are evidently handmade.
My aim is to encourage reflection on and reinterpretation of contemporary themes where I sense confusion and conflict in everyday life; through seeing what appears within the visual collisions created in the works.
My recent works engage with ideas of choice, possibility and the blurring of boundaries between technology, the natural world and community.
My most recent works take on varying forms; as loose, unbound, unframed leaves, 3 – dimensional collaged sculptures and dynamic triptychs alongside more personal image:text reflections and in collaborative zines.
I reference diverse historical traditions, along with recent archival methods and materials, including egg tempera, agricultural seed production, and computer processing and hardware.

I began art making following classes at the MIll Arts Centre Banbury with Chrissie Borland 30 years ago followed by a Foundation Diploma at Banbury College with Trev Wardle and Helen Slater. Subsequently I found my way to to Central St Martins, London ( BA Fine Art ) and Camberwell College, London (MA Fine Art Digital) .
I am a member of two zine-making collectives, made up of diverse international artists; FirstLine Collecctive and Zine You Next Tuesday, We all met on on Royal Drawing School on line classes with Dr Sarah Lightman and Emily Haworth Booth being instrumental in encouraging our foray into Zine publication and distribution in the UK and overseas.
Zines will be available to order or purchase at The Missiion Hall Studios or by contacting me directly.
I am an Associate of OVADA Oxford and EOP Eastside Projects BIrmingham. o
I have a professional background in botanical science, field and laboratory research and development ( commercial plant breeding), and as a consulting medical herbalist and have lectured, tutored and facilitated workshops in a range of biological science, health, ethno-medical and art-related contexts and over the years have worked in the community using gardening, meditation and wellbeing practices with diverse groups in a variety of settings, both freelance and in social care services. I have ethnographic experience in particular with the RGBKew Remembered Remedies collaborative project, and oral history training.
