I am drawn to man-made landscapes in flux, worked, weathered, and re-forming, often sitting at the edges of expectation. My practice explores how we look at these places, how we intervene, and what emerges when we step back. I work across the meeting points of physical and human geography, tracing the push and pull between control and chaos across managed terrains. My site-based practice crosses moorland and mountains, city and industrial sites.

 

My approach is instinctive and energetic, always beginning with drawing and then shifting across media as each site and idea evolves. Research, narrative strength, and a bold visual language anchor my work.

 

Beyond the studio, I create participatory projects that invite people to engage with landscape differently through drawing, alternative maps, playful structures, and interactive experiences.
