Statement
“In the Land” continues my exploration of the role that we have as caretakers of the land. In particular, I am interested in the relationship between this role and our attitudes to each other.

“In the Land” seeks to draw the viewers mind to the resources created and concealed in the ground beneath our feet since the beginning of time. To become conscious of the elements used to make the everyday items that we take for granted and to then make the connection to one another.

My work explores parallels between the physical and the spiritual, the seen and the unseen. Taking inspiration from the natural world and drawing on my imagination I work intuitively to give body to the unseen world as I perceive it.
