About
Time is the territory I keep returning to, not as concept, but as physical experience. How it accumulates. How it is held in a body, in a day, in a thorn.
My practice moves across drawing, painting, installation and object-making, with drawing at the centre. Across all of it, I am drawn to the slow, the repeated, the patient — and to work that invites a different kind of looking, one that moves beyond the visual into memory and meaning.
Rosebound is my most sustained work to date. It emerged from my father's death. I gilded 16,726 rose thorns — one for each day we were alive together — not as monument to loss, but as a celebration of presence.
