Handmade prints exploring how human history shapes the landscape; reawakening curiosity, belonging and care for the natural world.

Through handmade prints, I explore how humans have shaped the landscape over time.  I reflect on the layered relationship between people and place, exploring how contemporary experience and historic land use create a sense of belonging and connection with the land.​

​

Each print invites viewers to pause, to notice the marks of human presence within the landscape and consider the quiet power of place; how landscapes root us, record our collective past and prompt questions of how to live in the future, rediscovering a sense of belonging and care for the natural world.  

​

The technical side of printmaking requires patience and practise, yet it is an art form which lends itself to experimentation.  At the core of my practice is a deep-rooted desire to experiment, explore and ask ‘what happens if…?’.  Experimenting with a range of printmaking techniques means they inform each other, whilst using a practice-based research approach leads to new ways of looking at the landscape and so process and experience become cyclical.​​​​​
