Biography
I'm an inter-disciplinary artist working across the mediums of printmaking, photographic processes and sound recording. My practice explores our perceptions of sound within environments and how that can be expressed in a visual context. I'm interested in how we respond to and feel in certain environments and in particular how we actively ‘listen’ and also how sounds can trigger memory and a sense of place.
I work in a process led way and purposefully slow down or isolate sounds and images to deconstruct a view of the world at a more micro level or a 'snapshot' of time. Really trying to aim for a multi sensory, immersive experience both through visual works and through soundscapes which I'm beginning to create.
In my practice I often fuse both analogue and digital processes as a reference to the physicality of the world entwined with the advancement of digital technology. So for example some of my prints begin life in the darkroom as photograms, are digital produced as prints then screen printed over the top in a layering way to create another dimension.
