In my work I try to recast moments from my experience. Being open to the bleak power and scale of the landscapes around Cambridge and East Anglia enabled me to explore an inscape of experiences from anxiety and disconnection to euphoria and rapture.
More recently the work includes figures from more intimate moments, but still with the intention to capture their personal and universal intensity. Sometimes they are one of trillions, a continuum unchanging to the human eye, other times fleeting and personal, but all capable of evoking contemplation and deep spirituality.
