Plants as a motif have permeated my work in different series and are a subject I continue to relate to, as for me they define place, life and death. They act as metaphors for human growth. At the moment they are helping me define my sense of place, of belonging to an area, habitat or landscape.

The visual ideas behind my work relate to importent themes in my personal life, these being the environment around me both natural and man made and the concepts, philisophies, and histories attached to the human condition.

I aim to make work that is wearable, visually strong and that provokes in the wearer and viewer a need for response, for an interaction of some kind. I’m motivated to create work that retains its vitality and allows the possibility for long term attachment that outlasts its novelty or newness.
