My current practice is based on Japanese multi-plate woodcuts. My work begins with a loosely formed drawing which I translate into woodcut and silkscreen. The end result is not fixed by the initial drawing, but mutates as the plates are proofed, mistakes and accidents occur, and colour experiments are realised.

My recent work uses inanimate objects to reflect emotional states and create an autobiographical narrative. Despite being personally reflective, the works are rooted within the tradition of still life and convey universal themes of love, loss, loneliness and passion.

I am interested in how we look at others and what we see is often a reflection of what society, the media and our own social, religious and economic power, including gender, has taught us to think. The paradox is that, while being at the centre of our own world, we are insignificant in the larger scheme of things.

My work criticises the whole “institutionalized” art system, from the overcrowded art schools to the elitist art galleries where artists transform themselves into factory workers and the artwork is mostly seen as a product of commodification. Using video animation, installation work and silkscreen printing I recreate a visual scenario that points out the deficiencies of this promised land.

"All is not gold that glitters, and even in Japan- the country about which so many have raved, and about which so few have had anything but good to tell- everything is not perfect; but then what country or man is perfect?"

The book facilitates an intriguing conversation between private intimacy and exposed revelation. It is this capability that enhances the content of my work. Being of a personal nature, my work has come to rely heavily on the Books demand for interaction to help intensify the reader's experience.

This project involved the removal of a cotton lining, consolidation of fugitive red inks which were spread over the 8 panels, washing, pulp infilling and relining. Mounting and framing according to conservation guidelines completed the display.

Map of Thierstein, Bavaria, approx 1850
Pre-treatment Photograph 921 x 924mm

This was a project to conserve an album of pressed flowers (an exsiccata) belonging the Florence Nightingale Museum. It includes a report on its found condition, the issues researched for its successful conservation, and a discussion about the treatments that were deployed and why. The result is on display.

My research and practical works are an association between iron gall ink and the Relative Humidity field. Both areas are very vast in information. Those references have proved to be extremely important to the treatment decision making.In this particular case the iron gall ink part of the book is submitted to a Conservation treatment.

"In the theatre of repetition, we experience a language which speaks before words, gestures which develop before organized bodies, masks before faces, specters and phantoms before characters – the whole apparatus of repetition as a 'terrible power'".(G. Deleuze, Difference & Repetition)

Green Map Systems – A Tool for a Sustainable Urban Ecosystem
A project that aims to develop visual communication design through cartography and iconography in reducing the impact of global warming. The idea is to highlight eco-friendly Green Map Systems that will engage people across culture, race, religion and gender by concentrating places where nature and culture interconnect in local communities.

My practice is based on experience, my own and others. Through layers of paint I wish to expose an inner drama followed by a strong sense of feminine appearance and disappearance. Covered in a dissolving sweetness these emotional portraits are dealing with the fear of beauty, overtaking love as delusion.

My work explores the possibilities of combining the advantages of animation-films with those of picture books, blending digital-media with analogue-media and visualising heart-warming messages from narrative stories I wrote to make children and parents respond emotionally and encourage them to communicate by the interactive-animation and the maps in a play-space.
