Utilising a variety of media including sculpture, textiles, origami, bookbinding, papermaking and printmaking, my work explores our inherent desire to understand, rationalise and control our relationship with our environment, incorporating theories of psychoanalysis and communication, disciplines such as genetics and medicine, and social constructs including time, geography and religion. My current body of work is a series of carbon monoprints based on my interest in genetics and anthropology, exploring the nature of animal symbolism in language and it’s links with societies past, present and future.
