Bodyscapes and Landforms
As a visual artist, I probe science and technology to contrast nature and artifice. My work is guided by experimentation and curiosity rather than any particular style or medium and over time I have explored the same issue from a multitude of perspectives: what does it mean to live in a human body, and now, in the landscape we inhabit.
Since 2017, I’ve been making visceral abstract drawings on paper with edges of the recognizable; I paint, cut, draw and combine re-purposed printed images inspired by biology, including microbes, neuronal activity and chance-mutated shapes from cutouts. Most of the images represent a variety of life-forms and contain only the essence and energy behind them. It’s as if the biological phenomena of my brain have been transported through my body and hands onto paper to represent the wake of life.
