I moved to Cornwall from London mid pandemic. the change to being in a rural environment, though I have always craved nature is a shock I am still processing, The overwhelming presence of nature and being surrounded by so many different greens (Cornwall is very wet thus verdant) has been something that I am responding to in my work.

  I am considering myself in nature and the relationships between organisms and surroundings,  the unseen, the spiritual, and the unquantifiable are present.

There is something ‘other’ that we as humans respond to when confronted by the natural world, being at the periphery of nature of myth, legend, history, and memory.

I am currently working on an exciting commission and will share details when appropriate.
