About Me

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 visual narratives I accompany the viewer on a journey through an honest, intimate recollection, a memory or feeling, often manifesting in an installation, multiple or artist's book.

These works are born from a passion to communicate, to generate a dialogue and create a world in which there is time enough to read. While learning the traditional techniques of bookbinding, I discovered the pleasure of letterpress 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 over the past five years, my work is held in public and private collections in the UK and abroad. Artist multiples are stocked in London, Paris and Los Angeles.
