I am interested in developing a visual language through the repetition and evolution of mark-making, to act as a personal calligraphy without words. Experiences of being and sketching in woodland feeds the mark-making process, which continues to develop back in the studio and evolves into something more reflective, through physical distance from the origin and the perspective of memory.

A question that frequently recurs in my work is the role of subjectivity in our experience of the world and which aspects, if any, of our visual experiences are universally shared. Spending time quietly sketching in the woods makes me feel more connected to, and moved by, my environment, and through my work I explore methods to identify and express some of the less tangible experiences this has enabled.
