My work forms part of an ongoing investigation into how specific spaces can be occupied and mapped simultaneously. The subjective nature of mapping allows for alternative narratives to exist in the same place at the same time, an arena with boundaries to test and spaces to explore.

Drawing creates a foundation to all the work; the use of line is visible throughout. The work has seen a transformation of line into thread and a shift from 2D to 3D. The drawing is considered as mapmaking, discussing the fixed towards transitional.

Recent work takes into account the idea of the fixed and the fluid. Incorporating pulley systems and anchor points, the work discusses ‘relational’ concepts of how the body moves and behaves in a given space.

Currently Collaborating with Artists Jason and Becky on a Successful Arts Council Bid.
