Commuting between the countryside and the city each day, I’ve become increasingly aware of the contrasts and quiet parallels between the two environments. My art practice aims to explore these two worlds through painting, sculpture and the repurposing of found objects

Through my materials, I explore conversations around decay and renewal shared by rural and urban settings alike. Drawing from the beauty of worn surfaces and the tension between construction and destruction. My paintings begin on wooden panels, built up with acrylic layers and then partially removed using abrasive tools associated with manual labour and production, such as sandpaper. This process-based approach embraces chance, allowing unexpected marks and textures to emerge. Materiality, colour, and the interplay between geometric patterns and tactile surfaces remain central to my work. The colours I use echo those found on the farm but are equally present in city streets, in posters, walls, and murals. The shapes reference surrounding fields as well as the structure of the urban grid.

Memory and identity are considered through Psychogeography, examining how environments influence emotion and imagination. Through installations of steel, found objects and paintings, I aim to portray the experience of living between the two worlds.
