My practice is predominantly engaged with printmaking and hand-embroidery. Moving between these modalities - one pressing the surface, the other piercing it - I puzzle through the subjects that preoccupy me: loss, the nature of time and the unconscious. Proceeding from these pillars of interest, many strands of enquiry unfold and find shape, resulting in bodies of work that are open-ended. My printed work frequently harnesses the found photographic image, driven by the qualities of the photographic that encompass ideas related to absence, looking and the passing of time. Each body of work is underpinned by one or more literary texts, ranging from psychoanalytic theory to poetry, and language itself is often positioned as a subject of exploration. Furthermore, my practice is grounded in craft and the handmade and is concerned with the historical and contemporary significance of slow-making. The work - both materially and conceptually - is laboured, emerging gradually and intuitively over long stretches of time.
