About my work

I work primarily with biomorphic forms in drawing and sculpture. For me, biomorphic art opens up a space between the known and the unknown - where the possible lives. By combining and rethinking organic forms and materials, I want to speak to the imaginative part of the mind, whilst engaging with the body.  I try to mimic materials and things that we are familiar with in a tactile way; voluptuous bodily forms,  folds and draping similar to fabric, and lines that grow out like hair or veins - then twist like a root. Sharp edges and soft curves.

I tend to work intuitively,  spending a lot of time with every work and letting the form or image evolve, rather than plan out and execute. This, together with a level of abstraction in the organic forms, is meant to keep the image or sculpture open enough for the viewers  imagination - so that the work can keep changing and evolving even after it has left my hands.
