Cyanotypes

Original cyanotypes on cotton fabric: natural orbjects or hand-cut stencils in contact with exposed sensitised material is the primary technique used to create this series of individual photograms.

My images often develop out of quick sketches, inspired by many things such as a dream, a feeling, something suddenly remembered, a song, or a particular experience. With a palette of diverse figurative elements, I explore emotional responses to life, colour, pattern and language.

My work creates a juxtaposition of dreams, realities and sensations, fleeting moments from life inspired by my own experiences. I explore a sense of empathy for existing across different places and times, examining personal sensations of deja-vu, while moving through times, locations, and states of being, without a fixed linear chronology.

My artwork has been commissioned and represented in various publications, with solo and group exhibitions showing in the UK, France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Italy, Canada and the USA.
