My work is rooted in exploring places left to decay in response to the many forms of unnecessary destruction that confronts us in the world now. An area of particular interest is a 114 acre former industrial site in my local area that has been derelict for the last 20 years. I seek to discover narratives of places that have a lost identity.

I achieve this through printmaking and installation, often incorporating and juxtaposing the materials associated with waste and demolition. I blend both the inside and outside to explore how these places are often in transition, layering and collaging images to reveal the hidden timelines and stories of a place.

As with deciphering an ancient ruin, my work seeks to reflect on the past, present and future of a destroyed landscape. Through my work I aim to consider the universality of destruction in order to consider the needless annihilation we are surrounded by today.
