I explore the dualities of identity, the slippery nature of memory and the passing of time. I make lithographs on limestone and grained plates about my grandparents farm house that depict the landscape and the lives passing through it. Printmaking is a central tool, and I use the process of stone lithography to paint and draw directly onto the limestone or plate. The use of water tusche wash occurs frequently as both material and metaphor; rain, tears, vessels expanding the notion of fluidity of memories and cycles of nature. I am drawn to states of transition; between exterior and interior worlds; psychological and physical, absence and presence, surface and depth.
I studied at Cardiff Met, UWE, Bristol, Tamarind Institute for Lithography and I run a collaborative lithography studio, The Lemonade Press, in Bristol, UK.
I am the co-author of Lithography: An Artist’s Guide, Published in 2023 by Crowood Press.
