As a mixed media artist working with prints, collage, mixed media, fibre arts, and photography, I am interested in the push-pull of constantly searching for something... My current practice is to explore my surroundings, the sense of place. I like to ‘zoom in’ on an environment and work with that. That could mean photographing found objects, ‘foraged’ natural elements and arranging it to be seen in a different way. I enjoy abstracting the essence of a place to create something new. So the viewer can also experience something they may have previously overlooked, with fresh eyes.
