Some materials I work with frequently are painting, glass sculpture, and 3D scanning. Over the last few years I have been interested in exploring our experience of the Contemporary Sublime in the landscape. Perusing this has involved many long walks while I've experimented with ambulatory art and self-tracking. For instance in some of my glasswork objects that were collected in a single walk, along with the soles of my walking shoes, were imprinted into the glass mould. Using maps as a starting point, my paintings are layers of structure and memory. Some themes that are often present in my work are interior/exterior worlds, childhood and relationships, and layers of symbolism found both in Art History and modern day. I enjoy layering historical techniques and traditions with a more unconventional use of found/reclaimed wood, fabric, paints and pigments, as well as an engagement with our current climate.
