I am currently working on a series of 2D mixed media drawings which form the basis of the surface designs on my ceramic vases.

My charcoal drawings particularly reflect my own solitary journeys through the rural landscape.
I aim to capture the power and unromantic beauty of nature, and its influence on the people who live and work in these rural environments.
These works aim to explore the boundaries and tensions between drawing practice and photographic practice and thus pose questions of the authenticity of both the photograph and the gesture. I aim to achieve photographic qualities by building thin layers of charcoal dust applied and removed with a brush, and by sculpting form and shapes from black areas of charcoal with a rubber.
My work starts from a memory of a place or an experience of it and the drawings develop through the application of expressive spontaneous marks to develop an impression of a landmark to embody a sense of place.
