My practice involves a circular process moving between the virtual and real world, operating in the spaces between digital and analogue, between the human-made and the natural world. I strive to balance opposites: gestural abstract marks with cleanly designed elements; and manufactured bold colours with natural, earthy tones.

I'm always collecting source material by observing unknowing collaborations and juxtaposed opposites in my local environment. Photographing these discoveries, I bring them into my practice to wrestle with the inherent tensions and to confront the polarities existing within our current culture. I feel my work exists to prove that competing forces can work together.

My process takes time and is one of experimentation and iteration: part accident, part intent, interchangeable and repeatable. I tend to start with photography and digital painting before transferring to a physical surface and blending with a variety of mixed media.

As I work through multiple cycles, layers build up and relief emerges on the surface. There's usually a point where I become lost in possibility. I realise I've reached the final phase when I've lost track of how I arrived here and would struggle to reproduce it. There's always a possibility the process could repeat forever.
