Currently studying fine art at Bath Spa University

My work is concerned with blurring the boundary between the real and surreal focusing on natural landscapes. I use a combination of real locations and sculptures that are adapted to create a new environment. These landscapes are exaggerated to take the form of microcosmic worlds exploring the possibility of miniature life forms. It is the abscence of fantastical creatures that draws parallels to the natural world questioning what is real or artificial.

In looking at photographs or paintings of these worlds they include indications that the authenticity is questionable and therefore the viewer is further distanced from reality. They are to some extent contained and explore biospheric conditions adding to the fragility and mystical qualities that can be associated with such miniature worlds.
