Inspired by an unrelenting desire to make, coupled with a passion for the written word, I make objects to house stories which may otherwise go untold. In creating narratives I accompany the viewer on a journey, often manifesting in an installation, multiple or artist's book.

The works are born from a passion to communicate, to generate a dialogue and create a world in which there is time and space enough to read. While learning the traditional techniques of bookbinding, I discovered the pleasures of fine printing, the delight in self-publishing, the satisfaction and accessibility of communicating by means of the book form.

Themes explored in recent works include fecundity and dolls houses, lost love and redundant underwear, rural survival and liberation, salvaged diaries and dementia, solitude and beards, proverbs and heirlooms. 

Having published over twenty limited editions in the past seven years, my work is held in many public and private collections in the UK and abroad including TATE Britain, Chelsea College of Art, London College of Communication, Winchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University. Artist multiples are stocked in London, Edinburgh, Paris, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
