My practice investigates ways to visually represent the philosophical theories of materials with other living entities. My work is informed by the theories of the Anthropocene, a proposed epoch that illustrates the current scale of human effects and impacts on the earth’s geology and systems. Which more than ever challenges us to reconsider our relationship with other living/ non-living beings.
 
My practice revolves around creating digital collages that are manipulated by adding, merging and subtracting information to create meaningful compositions. This process allows complex relationships between images and research to emerge, always informed by ecological and philosophical concepts and ideas. This artistic research is developed further to create compositions that strategically guide the viewer’s eye around the whole image. Finally, the collage is methodically translated into a large-scale painting or print using materials linked to the Anthropocene, to further evolve the meaning of the image whilst creating an illusion of depth and scale.
 
My current work explores multispecies storytelling, refuge, hyperobjects whilst juxtaposing the romantic and contemporary sublime. Through my work, I aim to visualise the overwhelming human effects on the earth’s landscapes and illustrate how materials play a part in this which can cause devastating results on natural systems.
