About
Artist's Statement:
My work explores dislocation of culture from ecosystem through attention to litter and focus on the ground level. I am interested in the action of dropping by all species and in the trajectory of objects. I am drawn to spaces and built places undergoing change so I can explore the unthethering of things and reassertion of other species in 'wilderness'.
Bio:
I am currently studying a part-time MA in Art & Archaeology with the University of the Highlands and Islands in Orkney. I hold a First Class BA Hons in Fine Art & Contemporary Culture, 2019, from University of Gloucestershire, and a BA Hons History of Art, English and Media & Communications, 1993, from University of Wolverhampton. I share a studio Coventry Artspace Eaton House studios, am a member of Coventry ArtSpace Advisory Board and take contemporary art and graphic design commissions. I live with my family in the West Midlands, UK.
