My work is focussed on the complex and often destructive relationship between ourselves and the natural world and is deeply rooted in materiality, using natural, found or repurposed materials.
At Ogden I became interested in the visible and hidden systems, organisms and networks that slowly revealed themselves during my residency. I made work mainly in ceramics, partly using wild clay dug up on site, which further connected with this place.
Recent relevant experience
residency for Everybody Arts at Ogden Water Nature Reserve followed by a group exhibition at Everybody gallery.
Watershed commission for Pennine Prospects, making a body of work in response to the upper landscape, resulting in an exhibition at Cartright Hall Gallery.
For both these projects (and many more) I worked with community groups who had never previously accessed these beautiful places, introducing them to new experiences connecting with nature and improving well-being. I am visual arts lead for an arts and mental health organisation and have well being at the heart of all my extensive creative work with communities.
