Biography

Traces Hold Time and Time ≠ Money.

I am a London based printmaker who both allows and harnesses the processes and materials of etching to evoke dynamic traces and forces.

Initially finding etching too exacting, I experienced a reawakening of my engagement with materials, earlier honed by work as costume breakdown artist and prop-maker.

I make unpredictable resists, grounds and tools. Operating between choice and chance, employing the alchemy of print, I attempt to enact and evoke something of the processes of the natural world, where flow and obstacle, resistance and corrosion, excavation and sedimentation during the creation of the plate and the compression of ink and paper in the press, capture traces of the dynamic the vitality of everything to communicate on a visceral level.

I have shown in Royal Academy Summer Shows, with the Printmakers Council and at Linden Hall Gallery and sold to private collectors.

I studied post graduate Diploma Theatre Design at Croydon College, for an MA at  Middlesex University (CASCAD) in Computing in Art and Design and have experimented with a range of print making processes in courses at The Art Academy, Morley College, City Lit and East London Printmakers.

I worked as Prop-maker, Breakdown Artist, 3d Animator and Visiting Lecturer at UAL Camberwell.

My work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Linden Hall Gallery, Oxo Tower Gallery and the Horsebridge Whitstable and the CityLit Gallery.

I am a member of the Printmakers Council and Associate Member of East London Printmakers.
