We’ve just done Open Studios at Bloc and the Saturday was so busy, with so many people visiting, cramming in to my tiny (shared) studio space, that I seemed to be talking all day and barely drawing breath. Not just talking about my own art and why I do what I do, but speaking to other artists about their work too. It was energising, inspiring and completely exhausting! And having pulled that off, it seemed like a good time to start a blog, to keep the invigoration of the open studios event alive and to record some of the ideas and influences that inform my practice. And so, if you’re reading this: welcome to my world and thanks for stopping by.

It’s fair to say that I am not a minimalist.
I love colour and the way it shapes our mood. Inspired from an early age by pop art and folk tales, the colours and decorative themes, I’m always looking for beauty in the unexpected. Can’t pass a skip without peeking inside in search of treasure.
Most of the materials I use are recycled, pre-loved or happened upon, and I work mostly with paper; I like the ubiquity of paper but also its fragility and impermanence.
I started making large paper cut images in the early 2000s and these have gradually expanded into site specific 3D work using coloured light and film projection.
