Statement

I have always had an insatiable curiosity about the Universe and how it works both at a quantum and cosmic scale. I have found as a mature adult, that through art, and an innate desire to simply ask and at least try and understand, I can imagine the Universe not through the language of numbers, but through the act of physical creation.

As an artist, I feel so incredibly inspired by the idea of creating objects which amalgamate both art and science. Art that when viewed by others, will hopefully ignite a childlike spark of curiosity and wonder.

I am currently amalgamating art, science, nature, architecture, and recycled materials. Utilizing a myriad of different methods including a plethora of sculptural processes, and darkroom photographic techniques, my aim is to create art which crosses the boundaries of many intellectual and philosophical disciplines, in an attempt to unify these mediums into one coherent all-encompassing practice.
