I often include or refer to the lived experiences of other disabled people in my art, and this becomes a collaboration of their narrative and my artwork. 

As a printmaker a large part of my practice is my relationship with materials and the tactile nature of the different processes. I actively encourage people to physically engage and connect with my work, however due to Covid-19 restrictions I sought new ways to engage audiences which led me to incorporate sound and video in my work taking it in new and unexpected directions.

The recent installations (Beyond the Curve) (Blurring Boundaries) and publication (Perceptions of Colour) is a documentation of my transition from partial-sight to blindness as an artist and challenges others’ understanding of sight-loss. Printmaking, projection and methods developed from my previous primary research, conducted around the stigma of disabled artists have been the key initial ideas in my creation.

Overlapping images and projecting over different surfaces, impacts the viewer’s depth perception, edges blur and distort like my sight, whilst other areas appear to move quicker, creating a physical response and sense of unease for the audience, mimicking my lived experience, the installations have no sound, are projected in the dark, intensifying the experience.

In contrast (Transient Moments 1) a silkscreen print installation on Japanese paper, has a subtly to it, and moves with the air current, representing the translucent and ever changing nature of my sight.
