My work is a meditation on the miniscule and overlooked beauty in the everyday landscape around us. I like to take a magnifying glass to the world to unveil the intricacies which are often passed by in our daily lives. This requires a different pace of life, one of slowing down and observing closely and carefully, a practice which I hope the work will encourage people to take part in. I hope to ignite a reverence for the beauty which can be found in small corners of the world.
I am inspired by the Japanese ukiyo-e works and take inspiration from these, capturing scenes which are full of both movement and stillness.
This philosophy runs through my work and my life. Spaces with expansive silence where the mind can roam, untouched cemeteries and corners and cracks where weeds creep through rebelliously, all inspire my work.
I graduated from University of the West of England with a BA Hons in Illustration in 2018, and have since pursued a fine art practice.
