I have an unhealthy obsession with chopping things up and creating teeny-tiny collages and paper-cut outs - but I have in recent years rediscovered a love to work with watercolour and the plain ole’ pencil. 

I work from my wonky little studio room on the first floor of my apartment, sat with my colour coded piles of paper, plants and dreams of a cat called parsley.

Inspired by the intricacy of the natural world, much of my recent body of work tries to echo this attention to detail. I love to examine my surroundings on a miniature scale and to investigate the potential of my materials on curious scale. A nose to scalpel-pencil situation.

My work as an artist often explores the concept of “what is, and what can become?”, probingly pulling apart imagery, to reappropriate and knit back together to create new meaning and narrative. I often use collage as a vehicle to create surreally charged drawings or mixed media pieces, capturing humour and poetry through chance encountered images, in turn provoking the viewers imagination and curiosity to look closer themselves. But some of my work simply tries to record those little details I have a keen habit of absorbing or collecting and need to do something with.
