As an artist working primarily in screenprint and Toyobo, my practice is a reflection on how we imbue objects and places with memory. My work is deeply inspired by a personal connection to nostalgia, drawn from a lifelong love for the countryside rooted in my family’s farming history. This background informs my fascination with landscapes and the subtle graphic elements within them, from the worn typography on a forgotten sign to the patterns and colours within nature.  

My creative process is a journey of play and experimentation. I find immense joy in the tactile and often immersive nature of printmaking, where the unexpected and the "happy accident" can become a central part of the final piece. This hands-on approach allows me to explore and manipulate ideas, turning simple objects and memories into something new and unexpected. 

For me, printmaking matters because it is a process of both control and surrender. It requires precision and technical skill, but it also demands a willingness to embrace the accidental. The physical act of layering colors and textures creates a tangible link to a story or feeling, transforming a fleeting idea into a permanent and palpable work of art. It’s a process of slowing down and focusing, allowing me to find a sense of peace and purpose in a world that often moves too fast.
