about
I am a printmaker based in Gloucestershire, making woodcuts, takuhon, frottage and drawings. I have become interested in how experimenting with these processes tunes our everyday experiences of surfaces, patterns and images. My practice happens as much in the woods as the print workshop, and recently I have started green woodworking alongside printmaking. I am researching a meeting of these archaic, slow-paced crafts as they connect both in practical and imaginative senses.
