ARTIST STATEMENT

 

I am a multi-disciplinary artist and complementary therapist based in Pembrokeshire. I work with the mind, body and souls of people throughout this remote, ancient, rural landscape providing therapies in life and at the end of people’s lives. This combination of work with the body and in this landscape inspires the art that I make.

​

My art practice explores the concept of when I look at nature, I see myself. We reflect one another. 

​

My body is a multilayered natural landscape, what is external to me is also internal to me and vice versa. Nature is alive within the unseen terrains of my viscera, dwelling in the deep strata of bones and muscle. This, alongside the rhythms of growth and decay, the seasonal cycles, the passing of time in our bodies and in nature are themes that appear in my work. 

​

The artwork that I create dissolves and merges the stereotypical bodily form with natural forms. I enjoy this sense of fluidity, an entwining between us both. My art practice is my way of expressing a biological and physical interconnected-ness with nature, an innate relationship, a co-dependency, a being as one with the natural world.
