I am a visual artist and use my creative practice as a way of noticing and connecting with the world and the things in it. I tend to work with ‘immediate’ methods such as drawings, on-site sketchbooks, photography or speed drawings with ink and charcoal, to create direct responses. I also experiment with printmaking, collage, digital and the written word.
At the moment I work mostly with drawing. I’m interested in how drawing is used, and all the different things it can be: representational, documentary, immediate and responsive, or abstract. I often start out with making observational drawings from life. From these the process of drawing itself takes over, becoming drawings of drawings, drawings from memory, working over or erasing, freeing up or pairing back. I like the challenge and focus that comes from making just a few marks, becoming less about what is seen and more about the feel of things.
I live and work in Norfolk.
