I look for the universal in the particular and the connections between different times, places and cultures, using a complex, abstract personal investigation guided by intuition. My work is diverse – iron, bronze indigo, film and paper – but always closely linked to process and understanding of materials including their history and connection to culture.

I draw inspiration from life: an early childhood in the shadow of Disney’s fireworks in Anaheim, textile apprenticeship in Kobe, Art direction in Hong Kong,study in London and rural life in Wales. I am fascinated by landscapes, starscapes, culture and human technology. Elements of architecture are portals between this world and of others.I look for the universal in the particular and the connections between diverse times, places and cultures.
