I make abstract paintings comprised of…

~mark-making
layer upon layer,
pass over pass,

sanding back,
scraping,

pouring,

lines…

||||||||||||||||||
with careful restraint.

I like to embrace experimentation and chance.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
