Shelter

I am an interdisciplinary artist challenging and blurring the boundaries between traditional and digital media. 

My work explores human perceptions of place memory, time and identity through the creation and merging of painting, drawing, photography and exploratory digital creation strategies, creating multi-dimensional works that challenge fixed notions of time and place. 

I describe them variously as ‘timescapes ’ and ‘memoryscapes’; this is a metaphysical, psycho-geographical interpretation of accepted notions of contemporary landscape art.

My working process is alchemical and serendipitous: a fusion of many photographic moments and memories of a place, with paintings or drawings created in or of that place - greater than the sum of its parts.

They are palimpsests: layers upon layers, partially obliterated, layered again, written and overwritten, with glimpses of other places, other times still partly visible. 

In these layers lie the imprint of lives led, traces left, memories half recalled, a sense of place that is felt rather than remembered. In the long shadow of COVID, the layers trap and record a fractured world in time.
