Artist Statement
Through handmade prints, I explore how humans have shaped the landscape over time. I reflect on the layered relationship between people and place, exploring how contemporary experience and historic land use create a sense of belonging and connection with the land.
​
Each print invites viewers to pause, to notice the marks of human presence within the landscape and consider the quiet power of place; how landscapes root us, record our collective past and prompt questions of how to live in the future, rediscovering a sense of belonging and care for the natural world.
​
​​​The technical side of printmaking requires patience and practise, yet it is an art form which lends itself to
experimentation. At the core of my practice is a deep-rooted desire to experiment, explore and ask ‘what happens if…?’.
Experimenting with a range of printmaking techniques means they inform each other, whilst using a practice-based research approach leads to new ways of looking at the landscape and so process and experience become cyclical.​​​​

You can watch a 5 minute film about my practice. This was originally made for the final unit of my
MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in spring 2024.
