Artist Statement
In an otherworldly visual language, my work follows today’s sensitivity towards issues of protection and security. Ideas for many of the prints come as a result of working with contemporary writers and poets and responding directly to their work. The work is usually realised in traditional forms of Printmaking such as Etching and Collagraph as well as in drawing and watercolour.The series of prints collectively entitled ‘Light House’, consider the way that multiple narratives and divergent messages emerge between one version of a story or fairytale and another. The visual vocabulary is based around a recurring greenhouse motif that simultaneously represents nurture, protection and suffocation. Archetypal house shapes are subverted structurally and contextually to simultaneously imply nurture, protection, security and suffocation - frail and peculiar structures emit otherworldly light to suggest a mysterious or unexpected presence within the seemingly welcoming and safe space.
My interest in the disparity between different versions of ancient stories, where repetition and imperfect reproduction has confused the original message also plays a primary role in the work’s conception.
