Bio/Statement:
The process of engaging with and responding to a new environment plays a vital role in the development of new work within my practice. While there is an over-riding ethos behind my practice it is the challenge of engaging with new people and a new environment that infuses energy into my practice and allows for distinctive projects/works to be developed.
