Artist's Statement

I specialise in projects that are inspired by places and communities. My work is site specific; utilising research, collaboration, community skills and design through to final installation.

My dual interests in materials and recycling has frequently led to the design and production of new materials either utilising or incorporating recycled products that are site specific. At Fairweather’s Nursery and Garden Centre Beaulieu old plant labels and plant pots were cut up and embedded in tinted resin, a surplus from boat builder John Claridge. This new material has weathered well and has maintained its original quality. 

I am an experienced project manager for urban centre projects, site sensitive historic sites and rural landscape and waterways projects with teams of artists, designers, landscape architects, architects and developers.

I am an experienced artist working individually, collaboratively and as lead artist.

Frequently I am involved in sourcing local businesses and artisans to construct and install work, building and developing local networks, leading to a cross fertilisation of ideas and minimising waste and energy.
