I have a background in mixed media practise, including paint, textiles, photography and clay. For me, art should take the form of escapism and experience; it should inspire an emotional reaction and transcend beyond the intellectual response.

For 'Reading between the Lines' I took these photos, where there are many lines criss-crossing to obstruct the view. I thought it was interesting to focus at a point where you are aware of each line at different depths, where the human eye would naturally take in smaller parts of the view.

Megalithic

I've been thinking about the proposal I received for 'Megalithic'. I started by researching into the patterns used within this period and made sketches of the swirly shapes. Eventually I made a painting which features these shapes, but also the dark gloomy atmosphere of much of the stone ruins I found from the Megalithic period. I feel like I'd like to work more with this idea, perhaps creating another painting on a larger scale and submerging myself more in the hypnotic spirals.

Early Works

I thought I would start my first blog entry with some of my old images, an example of what has led me to this point.
