I am a British artist, born in Bradford, Yorkshire in 1973. My work sells all over the world and I regularly exhibit in London and my home city of Bath.
Drawing is at the core of my work. Like an excavation, starting a drawing is like uncovering something already there.
Each piece is an exploration of the drawing surface and the stuff that makes the mark, be it ink, charcoal, pastel or whatever comes to hand. In the process of printmaking the metaphor is extended as I literally cut away the surface to create the image. I love the process and the uncertainty of what will be revealed. However clear one’s intentions, there are always surprises.
